Zenato Valpolicella "RIPASSA"
| Vintage: | 2019 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 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 Amarones lees, thus starting a second fermentation. It is full-bodied, harmonic and velvety on the palate. Great with grilled meats or hearty stew. James Suckling 93 Points - "a lovely mix of red berries, bright orange peel and spicy cedar on the nose, following through to a full, round and silky palate with very fine tannins that are well integrated into the texture. Lots of flavor and good length. Hard not to settle down to a glass or two of this. Sustainable. Drink now.". Vinous 91 Points - "The 2019 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Ripassa is dark and brooding in the glass with rich plum and mocha complicated by crushed ashen stone. This is surprisingly juicy and energetic within, blending sour cherry with notes of sage and black olive over a core of brisk acidity. The 2019 leaves the cheeks puckered while finishing full of tension and spicy as a balsamic flourish slowly tapers off." -Eric Guido |
