Remarkably fresh, the 2020 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso bursts from the glass with a mix of crushed cherries of mint, giving way to a cascade of violet florals. This is silky smooth and round, with juicy acidity and depths of crisp wild berry fruits underscored by tactile mineral tones. The 2020 cleans up beautifully—long and crunchy, with a coating of fine tannins that nicely frame the experience as rosy inner florals slowly fade. The Ripasso spends two weeks resting on the lees of an Amarone fermentation, followed by one year in concrete and one year in large-format neutral oak. (Eric Guido, Vinous, February 2024)
