Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore 2021 (750 ml)

Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore 2021 (750 ml)

Tasting Notes For Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore 2021

Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore 2021 is an exceptional wine that is closely linked to the great Amarone wines of Valpolicella. After pressing the dried grapes used in Amarone, the Valpolicella wine is passed over the still warm Amarone marc. This initiates a second alcoholic fermentation that enhances the wine's alcoholic content and enriches its color and bouquet.

On the nose, this wine presents complex aromas of ripe cherries, plums, and spicy notes, which are beautifully balanced with subtle hints of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, it delights with a rich and velvety texture and flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and hints of tobacco.

This wine is an excellent companion to game dishes, grilled meats, roasts, salami, and aged cheeses. Its bold and complex flavors make it a perfect choice for special occasions or a luxurious night in.

Critic Ratings

Wine Spectator ReviewĀ - Rated 93:

The 2021 Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore entices with a beguiling bouquet of sweet herbs, wet stones, crushed blueberries and hints of spice. It is silken and round, with weighty textures offset by cooling acidity as masses of ripe red and blue fruits swirl throughout. The finish has grippy tannins balanced by a bump of fresh acidity as hints of plums fade slowly.

James Suckling ReviewĀ - Rated 94:
Evolved, complex wine full of depth, with aromas of forest floor, prunes and blackberry jam, plus subtle spice and smoky wood. The overall elegance is confirmed on the palate with medium body, integrated, refreshing acidity and savory, long, layered finish. One of the best Ripassos tasted this year. Drink now.
