Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso - 2021 (750ml)

170% Corvina Veronese, 20% Corvinone, 10% Rondinella.

Intense ruby red color. The nose offers fruity notes of cherry and underbrush, enriched with sensations of spice and chocolate. Tannin prevails in the mouth, with a meaty, savory palate.

This wine opens with aromas of fresh roasted coffee beans mingling with dark berries and blackcurrants, while dried violets add ethereal perfume. The palate embraces its richness with a chewy, lush texture that fills the mouth without overwhelming it. This is a textbook example that reminds you why the Ripasso method became such a beloved innovation, it brings depth and luxury while maintaining drinkability. — Jeff Porter

A harmonious red, with good length, layering focused flavors of baked cherry, plum, licorice root, forest floor and graphite in a supple, medium-bodied frame. Fresh and aromatic through the lingering, mineral-laced finish. Corvina, Rondinella and Merlot. Drink now through 2035. 12,500 cases made, 2,000 cases imported. - Alison Napjus
