Paladin Casa Lupo Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2021

The Paladin Casa Lupo Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2021 is a rich and intense red wine produced in the Valpolicella region of Veneto, Italy. This vintage is crafted using the traditional "Ripasso" method, where the Valpolicella wine is macerated for 15–20 days on the pomace of freshly pressed Amarone, enriching it with greater structure and complexity. It presents an intense red colour with garnet reflections and a bouquet featuring red berries, violets, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is known for its velvety, balanced tannins and fresh notes of currants and blackberries.

92 Points - James Suckling

Rich and spicy with ripe dark berries, plum skin, dried flowers and hints of burnt oranges. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and intense, with a fine texture and delicious fruit. Succulent finish. Shows richness and exuberance, yet it’s balanced and focused. Drink or hold.
