An excellent Italian red from the Veneto region, well balanced acidity, full bodied with a deep crimson colour. The nose smacks you with dark fruit and tobacco that transition into a palate fuelled with notes of black cherry, baking spice and chocolate. Paired wonderfully with a spinach tagliatelle noodle in a zucchini, capers, cherry tomatoes and basil pesto. — 21 days ago

18/20 (95/100) Тонкий аромат с нотами черешни, малины, лакрицы, кедра, грецкого ореха и сладких специй. Тельное с довольно высокой кислотностью и приятными танинами. Великолепно интегрирован алкоголь. Долгий и насыщенный вкус. Сплошное наслаждение. — 21 days ago

Excellent Ripasso, properly made. The grapes aren’t just aged on old skins. Instead, about half the grapes are dried in the sun for a month, just like an amarone, blended with fresher grapes, then aged on old amarone skins. The addition of juice from dried grapes lends an elegant silkiness and depth that I find missing from many other Ripassos. The wine is lively and full with dark fruit and spice. Hints of sweetness can be detected as the wine glides over the palate into a beautiful finish. Well done! 2015 vintage on Jan 30, 2020 — 4 days ago

Bought from Ocado as recipe (duck orecchiette) specifically called for valpolicella. Drank the remainder. Easy drinking but not bland at all. — 3 days ago

Vday treat with a nose of raisins, prunes, old leather and dried tabacco. On the palate more dried fruit continues with lighter notes of violet that give way to earthly mushroom. Serious tannin grip add to the hefty mouthfeel. — 2 days ago

Oak. Vanilla. Fruity, matured black fruits. Balanced at quite high level. Not too sweet. Good concentration. Slight bitterness enhances the taste. Aroma is amazingly good to makes me its elegancy, though it is quite powerful. Spicyness came. 2011 @4800, XH , 200207 — 9 days ago

A good vintage for the whole region, best displayed in a glass, unlike Mazzi. The bouquet clearly indicates that this wine could have become Recioto someday 😄. Compared to other samples, the aroma is more fruity. There is no spice in taste, but in this case such circumstances cannot be considered a disadvantage. Long time in oakis felt but not dominant due to the traditional approach to Amarone production. There are some cherry, chocolate, oak, brown sugar, black licorice. — a day ago

🙈 tasting 4th wine
at wset level 2 course (6th meeting)
the class subject was 🇮🇹
four reds were poured

my guess was that it'll probably be nebbiolo, barbera, sangiovese and amarone. i came close.

besides the one with appassimento treatment guessing what is each one is far behind my tastebuds (for now 😊)

brownish red 👀

ripe fruit, recurrent, black cherry, eucalyptus, clove, smoke, and some meat. 💪 👃

medium sweetness.
high acidity.
medium tannins.
full body.

🍬, ripe red fruit, mint, vanilla and caramel 👄

long long 🎯

this was so thick i just couldn't spit it!
very (very) bold but a tiny bit is superb. — 20 days ago

Really nice. Nose is dusty raisins. Palate is lots of dried cherries, fresh black cherries and some caramel but surprisingly fresh. Pleasant surprise. — 18 days ago
