Brigaldara Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2020

There's tremendous depth to be found within the 2020 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso. Crushed red plums, exotic spices and dusty roses can all be found in the glass. This is lifted and graceful in style, atypical of most Ripasso. Energizing acidity and a salty mineral core add a savory edge to its floral-tinged red fruits. This finishes with admirable length yet is remarkably pure and fresh, leaving the mouth watering for more.

This Ripasso opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, dried herbs and tobacco. Lush mixed berries, both fresh and preserved, cover the palate, while notes of forest floor, savory spices and fine tannins balance the fruit. Very tasty and great with your next BBQ.

With fruit from outside the so-called Classico zone comes the entry-level Brigaldara 2020 Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore (made with Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella). The wine reveals a sweet-smelling bouquet with dried cherry, raspberry, pink peppercorn and rose-based essential oils. This is an easy-drinking wine with a tapered mouthfeel and medium finish. An ample 100,000 bottles were made.
