Vinous Media (92)- "Darkly floral, the 2021 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore opens with a beguiling blend of spiced blood orange, sour cherries and cloves. It is silken in feel with a tinge of citrus that adds gravitas as a saturation of ripe wild berry fruits settles in. Gently tannic and long, the 2021 leaves a pleasantly chewy sensation and slight bitter twang that calls the taster back to the glass for more."
Wine Enthusiast (90)- "Aromas of freshly picked cherries warming in the sun dusted with sweet baking spices and subtle hints of earth define the nose of this wine. Soft and easy on the palate with a freshness due to the mouthwatering acidity, keeps the lush fruit in balance as the more savoy notes of tobacco, dried herbs and savory spice find room to develop. Elegant and lifted on the finish."
James Suckling (92)- "Tightly packed aromas and flavors of plums, raspberries and strawberries on a firm, medium-bodied palate with very fine tannins and a tight finish. Structured and tight. Drinkable now, but will open up a bit with a year or so in bottle. Try from 2025."
