Winemaker Notes

Deep ruby-red in color, this wine shows intense aromas of blackberries and black currants
underscored by aromas of spice pepper, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is smooth and
viscous with well-balanced acidity and alcohol.
Pair this wine with risotto, Lyonnaise sauces, beef negimaki, and rabbit ragu.

    Evolved, complex wine full of depth, with aromas of forest floor, prunes and blackberry jam, plus subtle spice and smoky wood. The overall elegance is confirmed on the palate with medium body, integrated, refreshing acidity and savory, long, layered finish. One of the best Ripassos tasted this year. Drink now.

    The 2021 Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore entices with a beguiling bouquet of sweet herbs, wet stones, crushed blueberries and hints of spice. It is silken and round, with weighty textures offset by cooling acidity as masses of ripe red and blue fruits swirl throughout. The finish has grippy tannins balanced by a bump of fresh acidity as hints of plums fade slowly.
