Expert Reviews
This historic wine represents an important forefather to the Ripasso hype that swept across Valpolicella 10 to 20 years ago. Before all those Ripasso wines, this Ripassa (notice the different spelling) had already earned its own following and reputation thanks to a unique winemaking approach that involves a secondary fermentation on the skins of air-dried grapes. The Zenato 2020 Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Ripassa shows the special intensity of this winemaking philosophy with aromas of baked plum, spice and cherry liqueur. There is a note of sweet marmalade-like ripeness on the finish.
