Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Corvina Blend
The 2020 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso grumbles up from the glass with a smoky blend of crushed rocks, dried roses and crushed black cherries. This is velvety smooth yet lifted in feel, with waves of ripe red and black fruits offset by a bitter twang of balsamic spice. It finishes structured and long, leaving a sensation of liquid stone and licorice under an air of inner florals. The 2020 is a dark and savory Ripasso that's simply begging for the cellar.

This was a bit more the fresher style we wanted. Great acidity in this wine, long finish. Quite nice.

Nov 10th, 2017I just tasted the Verona style of gorgeous Valpolicello Ripasso. Made by a winemaker who worked with Maestro Quintarelli, L'Arco brings that same delicate filigree of tensile strength & length woven like a spider web of pleasure! Impressive, nuanced, charming.
