This is exactly what I want in a Ripasso. The freshness and purity of ripe Corvina and other grapes, with a little assist from the Amarone pomace to add a little dried fruit complexity and richness and structure. Ripassos can so easily be simple and cloying and too big or sweet. This avoids all those pitfalls. Such a good pasta wine. — 21 days ago

Given to us by ICD. The color threw me at first, but it was actually pretty good and we enjoyed it! — 2 months ago

Clear, medium ruby to garnet in color; on the nose it's, clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cherries, almond,and cloves; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, medium tannins, medium alcohol, medium body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of tart cherry, ripe strawberry, tar, and black tea with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Nellie likes it too. — 4 months ago

Jammy smell. First sip very strong flavor, sweet and tangy. Hints of alcohol that help to balance the flavor. Very rich and fruity flavor. — 10 days ago

The 2023 Degani ‘Ciciolo’, Valpolicella Ripasso shows an almost-opaque shade of black cherry that brightens on the edges. The nose, as it breathes, is ripe with deep and rich, smoked cherry tobacco that softly opens onto another plane of intensity, but this wine is much about the finish.

The palate is rich, lush, and loaded with all kinds of levels of texture, and the finish follows all of that up gracefully. — 4 months ago

9.1

Blend of Corvina (60%), Corvinone (20%), Rondinella(10%), Croatina (5%) and Oseleta (5%). Dark ruby color. Aromas of dried red and black fruit, diesel fumes, leather and a bit of vanilla. Flavors of intense black berry/cherry/plum fruit, tobacco and sweet baking spices. The vanilla note is present on the long and lingering persistent finish. Velvety texture and harmonious with some noticeable alcohol heat. Bold, rich and intense. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — 3 months ago
