Tom Casagrande 
A nicely-structured and balanced Ripasso. Not too big and porty. Nose has dried cherry. A bit old barrel scents, and some pungent moist earth. Nicely linear in the mouth, with some good transparency in the straight-arrow finish. Even a little stony minerality and soft tannin in the finish. A joy to drink with dinner.

The 2017 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso is spicy and wickedly fresh with crushed raspberries, cloves and sweet rose tones. This is silky-smooth and elegant, with a mineral tinge that adds a salty edge to its intense tart red berries, giving way to clove. It is generous yet motivated by stunning acidity, tapering off long and staining, leaving autumnal spice and sweet tannin. The warmth of the 2017 vintage brought production down by 22%, yet it imparted the Ripasso with a sexy, if immediate, style. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2022)
