Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso 2021

WS91

Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso 2021 is a richly layered Italian red wine that beautifully bridges the bright fruit of Valpolicella with added depth and complexity. Crafted in the classic Ripasso style—where young Valpolicella wine is refermented on the skins and lees of Amarone grapes—this expression offers plush texture, concentrated flavor, and elegant structure.

On the nose, expect enticing aromas of ripe cherry, plum, and dark berry, accented by hints of baking spice, dried herbs, and a touch of cedar. The palate is medium- to full-bodied and well-balanced, delivering lush flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and red currant intertwined with notes of cocoa, sweet tobacco, and gentle oak. Fine tannins and refreshing acidity support a long, satisfying finish with lingering fruit and savory spice.

Versatile and food-friendly, Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso 2021 pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes, braised meats, grilled sausages, roasted poultry, and aged cheeses. Its blend of fruit intensity and refined complexity makes it an excellent choice for both weeknight dinners and special occasions—available at theliquorstore.com.
