Description
Brigaldara's 2023 Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore comes from the hills of northeastern Italy's Valpolicella zone, where the ripasso method (re-fermenting wine on the skins left behind from Amarone production) deepens color, texture, and flavor. The blend centers on the region's native grapes: Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara.
The wine opens with savory herbs and spiced citrus notes, then pulls in crushed blackberries and ripe red fruit across a silky, supple body. Cooling acidity and mineral salinity keep the mid-palate fresh and alive, while the finish settles into a pleasant chewiness, trailing blackberry skin tannins and a whisper of dark chocolate. It's ready to enjoy now, with enough structure to age gracefully if you prefer to cellar it.

The 2023 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso blends savory herbs with spiced orange peels and crushed blackberries. Silky smooth, it soothes the palate with cooling acidity and ripe red and black fruits as saline minerals saturate toward the close. It finishes with a pleasantly chewy sensation, leaving tart blackberry and a hint of dark chocolate.
