This Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso 2022 by Antolini offers a remarkably fresh and vibrant expression of Ripasso. Rather than richness, the focus here is on elegance, energy and precision.

The wine shows a moderately intense cherry-red colour. On the nose, aromas of sour cherry, fresh red fruit and floral notes are lifted by subtle spice. The palate is youthful and taut (t²), with fine tannins, lively acidity and a slightly nervy edge, hinting at further development with bottle age.

A modern, food-friendly Ripasso, perfect with pasta dishes, poultry or lighter stews
