Sopra Sasso Valpolicella Ripasso Corvina Blend
About to taste this beauty. Rich and full, hints of dark berry fruit and vanilla. A big and voluptuous driven Ripasso that's not just for sharing.

Feb 17th, 2015Nice label, although it talks about “stone-balancing “ with a picture of 3 balanced stones on the back. A blend? We didn’t know for sure. Tastes lovely. Light tannins add some depth. What is a Ripasso technique, anyway?

Sep 19th, 2023Cherry, strawberry, almonds, raisins. Nice nose. The à palate is composed of a very strong acid backbone carrying loads of cherry all along and laying some layers of matter on the side : some silk and some sweetness too. The rear is a roller-coaster of tannins kicking up a very long lasting fresh finish with cherry notes. Very enjoyable again.

May 4th, 2019This is a serious value (12,5€ or 16 USD in retail here in Poland) . Cherry, raisins, almonds very seductive nose. The palate is well balanced. Rather simple with some strong acid backbone, loads of ripe cherry with a sweet layer that bring some roundness to the overall feeling of this palate. Discreet tannins before a fresh finish with fruits. This is really easy going and confirming that I'm really into ripasso and amarone from veneto lately. I have a similar crush with it that I had a year ago with nice crus from Beaujolais
