WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS - "An aromatic, savory streak of tarry smoke and leather offers a subtle underpinning for the rich mesh of Amarena cherry, cured tobacco, licorice and warm spices on display in this harmonious red, with supple, well-knit tannins. Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone. Drink now through 2030. 30,000 cases made, 7,000 cases imported."
This wine represents a family tradition of passion and dedication, expressing the local history and culture of the Valpolicella region of Italy. One of the region's most recognized wineries for quality and perfection, this has been a favorite amongst Hi-Time customers for many years now and it is by no mistake. Consistently taking some of the highest ratings in top publications, this traditional expression of a Ripasso style wine continues to impress.
85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta are vinified, and then selected batches of the Valpolicella wine are "re-passed" over the skins and lees left after making their Amarone, thus starting a second fermentation. It is full-bodied, harmonic and velvety on the palate. Great with grilled meats or hearty stew.
