Review
A pretty red with currant and chocolate character. Full body, fresh and layered. Lots going on in the glass. Fruit-forward yet shows form and poise. Drink now.

Review
The combination of ripeness and vitality is spot-on here. A cascade of floral notes — violets, lavender and pansies — precedes a collection of spicier elements, such as nutmeg and cloves. Medium-to full-bodied with energetic acidity and an intricately woven texture of firm yet fine tannins. Drink now.

Review
The 2018 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is youthfully coy and inward with a pretty display of black fruits, lavender and violets. It’s silky in texture and surprisingly juicy, mixing sour cherry with blackberries and saline minerality. Hints of fine tannin and residual acids create a sense of tension through the finale, yet this never loses momentum, as the 2018 tapers off to bitter currants, cocoa and dark inner florals. This is so fresh and easy to like, and there’s some medium-term cellar potential built in – but you don’t need to wait.

Review
An excellent Ripasso here, with savory spice, bark and a hint of cedar to the black cherries and dark chocolate on the nose, following through to a medium-bodied palate. Round and silky, long and flavorful. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.

Review
Notes of dark chocolate complicate rich plum and cherry sauce and black licorice as the 2019 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso opens in the glass. It’s silky and round with ripe black fruits and balsam herbs, giving way to a salty core of minerality. The 2019 finishes savory, with a hint of sour citrus.

Review
Rich and concentrated with notes of cassis, dark plums, cocoa, sweet spices and hints of tar. Full-bodied, structured and layered with firm, chewy tannins. Broad and mouth-filling with a lingering, slightly chalky finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
