Mara Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Corvina Blend 2019

Solid “Baby Amarone!” Dark purple color. Aromas and flavors of ripe dark cherry, cranberry and strawberry fruit with additional notes of forest floor, baking spices and purple flowers. Smooth texture with a silky and juicy finish. Full bodied and rich. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — a month ago

Campolieti Valpolicella Ripasso Corvina Blend 2021

Surprisingly good. Found at Harbor Market. Just enough,but not too much tannins. Very drinkable. Haul out the olive oil and Italian rustca bread and enjoy yourself. — 2 months ago

Tommasi

Ripasso Valpolicella Corvina Blend 2019

Sour red and dark cherry, oak, spices. Medium bodied with medium tannins. Could use a little more integration. The acid is a bit loud on the finish. Paired well with eggplant and tomato pasta. — 4 months ago

Ca' del Laito Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Corvina Blend 2018

9.0

So pretty outstanding for the $22 I paid. Clocking in at Napa-level 15.5% ABV, you can nonetheless discern the soil and fig notes. Beefy, satisfying wine at great CBR. From Lower Falls WS. — a month ago

Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2018

I bought and drank a fair amount of Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre back in the late 1990s, and always enjoyed them. First time in the past 20 years, this seems a little softer and polished, a little lower ABV (13.5 vs. 14+ in earlier vintages), this is vinified using conventional fermentation as well as some ripasso fermentation (think Amarone drying grapes on straw mats), and has some very nice complexity and length, very nice!! — 2 months ago
