Giusti Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 2022

Giusti Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 2022 is an inviting, full-bodied Italian red crafted by re-fermenting traditional Valpolicella grapes on the warm pressings of Amarone. This time-honored "ripasso" method yields a deep ruby red wine with an intense, expressive bouquet of wild berries, candied cherries, raspberry gummies, and a hint of fennel salami spice. On the palate, it delivers a beautifully velvety mouthfeel, balancing its rich structure and supple, elegant tannins with a bright, savory core that carries through to a smooth, harmonious finish.

Food Pairing: Roasted red meats, rich pasta dishes with savory meat sauces, braised pork chops, wood-fired pizza, or artisanal charcuterie boards.

92 Points - James Suckling

A complex and intensely perfumed wine. Attractive nose of exuberant fresh red cherries, strawberry ice cream, subtle black pepper and smoky wood. Light- to medium-bodied, silky and crisp, almost zesty, with a polished, savory finish of spices and toast. Drink now.
