This elegant and complex Valpolicella continues the family tradition of the Ripasso method, used since the 1850s. The style is a consistent expression of the indigenous Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes and terroir of the area. Vivid ruby red in appearance. Intense hints of cherry, blueberry, licorice and lingering accents of cinnamon and pepper aromas. Soft and warm structured velvet tannins and a very balanced acidity. Long finish with fruity sensations. Pairs well with starters with game, and intense-flavored meat sauce. Savory quiches, spinach, chard. Red meat.

The 2020 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso is deeply floral, with hints of lavender and wet stone complicating its wild blueberry fruit. This washes across the palate with juicy waves of ripe wild berries and tactile mineral tones, as hints of citrusy spice collect toward the close. It finishes with admirable length, leaving a tart currant concentration and gently grippy tannins to resonate.
