Bertani - Valpolicella Ripasso 2020

Notes of ripe red cherry and underbrush, accented by spice and chocolate. It is velvety and well-balanced, full and round while maintaining a lively and intense grip.

This dense Ripasso can be easily matched with different Italian dishes: flavorsome pasta and rice dishes such as risotto with porcini mushrooms, grilled and roast meat and medium-matured cheeses.

Blend: 80% Corvina Veronese, 15% Rondinella, 5% Merlot

Bertani’s impact on Veneto wine making, particularly in Amarone production, is so considerable that ‘Bertani’ and ‘Amarone’ are nearly synonymous. Their 150+ year history is dotted with groundbreaking initiatives and royal accreditation. While respectful of their past, Bertani strives towards innovation, using progressive techniques and equipment allied with extensive experience and a deeply felt respect for tradition to provide wines of uncompromising quality. 

This supple red is balanced and elegant, with a pleasing juiciness to its flavors of cherry and wild strawberry. A medium-bodied version, offering light, creamy tannins and fragrant accents of dried thyme, lavender and paprika. Corvina, Rondinella and Merlot. Drink now through 2027.– Alison Napjus
