Speri Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso Organic 2022 750ml

Our Professional Review

Bart Hopkins, 67 Wine Buyer, writes:There are times when we look to wine for a sense of challenge, its compatibility with a particular food and perhaps a particular mood. Although, sometimes were not always in a challenging state of mind, but rather in a mood that calls for something comforting and just plain delicious. May I present just such a wine, the 2022 Speri Valpolicella Ripasso, made from organically grown grapes. In the glass, the aroma brings forth a beautiful dark fruit bouquet with notes of chocolatey cappuccino and licorice vying for your attention. In the mouth, the wine glides effortlessly on the palate with velvety richness and smooth supple tannins, finishing long and elegantly. Perfectly balanced without a trace of heaviness, this is a wine that provides pure hedonistic drinking pleasure without challenging us to decide if it’s the right wine or not. A great choice for meat or hearty pasta dishes.

Tasting Notes: A deep intense ruby red color, with hints of red fruit, spices and cocoa on the nose. Warming and smooth on the palate, nicely balanced by rounded tannins.

Expert Review – Vintage 2022

James Suckling – 93 Points “A full-bodied red, yet its tight and polished with intense, chewy tannins, but ever so long and deep. Impressive black truffle, ash and mineral undertones. Flavorful finish. Solid and thought-provoking. From organically grown grapes.”
