Begali Lorenzo Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC, 2021

Delicious Ripasso Classico Superiore from one of the best vintages of the last few decades

"Pungent notes of mountain herb, dried fennel and mint, with a core of just-ripe-enough strawberry, loganberry and sour red berries popping long across the mouth. Great energy here, with a swathe of dried tobacco tannins to compress, direct and drive the finish. 2021 is among the best vintages of the last few decades. Mid- weighted, effortless and a dangerous proposition as one glass moves swiftly to an empty bottle. Drink or hold."
-James Suckling 92/100 points

Food Pairing: Grilled Steak, mushroom risotto, spaghetti & meatballs, duck, braised lamb, and venison. 

• 12 months in Slavonian oak
