Ruby red color with purplish highlights and an tense, vinous bouquet, with hints of violets and cherries. A medium-bodied, fruity wine, to be enjoyed young.

91 Points, James Suckling (2021 vintage)

Benchmark Valpolicella. Others should take note. A thirst-slaking rail of salty phenolics, doused in tangerines and sour cherries, with a touch of garden and alpine herbs. Brisk acidity carries length, finishing with a kick of quinine. Delicious. From organically grown grapes. Sustainable

This is a young, immediate red which retains the essence of the earth from which it was cultivated. It is characterised by fragrant scents and fresh flavours and is the ideal accompaniment for any kind of dish. While molinara is no longer mandatory in the blend, it is prized here for its capacity to impart freshness. Sour red mountain fruit doused with mint, bitter herb and anise. There is a crunchy sense of compression to the wine, too, thanks to the peppery tannins sewing up the seams. Textbook freshness. Delicious drinking. Drink now.

 

91 Points, James Suckling (2021 vintage)

This is packed tight with a concentrated, silky bead of ripe red berries and red cherries that drives through the palate, until fine, quite firm tannins block its path right at the end. Medium-bodied, but the concentration of fruit makes it feel heavier. Lots of energy here, but balance, too. Delicious now. Even better after another year in bottle. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.

Ruby red in colour, with purplish-blue highlights; the nose exhibits fragrant fruit with prominent notes of cherries, echoed by fresher hints of pepper and aromatic herbs, typical of Corvina and Corvinone, the historic varietals of this appellation. Whilst young it is impressively lively and playful on the palate while it expresses greater delicacy and finesse some two years later

Winemaker Notes

A classic Valpolicella Ripasso. A powerful and elegant wine with aromas of roasted coffee and chocolate. Deft & silky, not over-extracted. Lovely Corvina edge of petals and almond nmd earthy leathery notes. Bright, intense garnet red. Aromas of ripe plum and sweet hints reminiscent of hazelnuts and Amarena cherries and black elderberry. On the palate it impresses with a fully harmonious, dense body paired with a round tannin structure. Intense cassis notes as well as licorice and truffle taste. Long-lasting, exciting finish with a lot of concentration of ripe berries.
