Tommasi Ripasso Valpolicella 2019 (91 VM)
“Dark and brooding in the glass, the 2019 Valpolicella Superiore Classico Ripasso grumbles up with a mix of crushed plums and cherries complemented by savory herbs and tobacco. This really comes to life on the palate, with vibrant acidity that enlivens its tart wild berry fruits, yet there’s a sneaky concentration here that slowly saturates. The 2019 cleans up beautifully through the finish, lightly structured and long, leaving balsamic spice and dried orange hints lingering.” —E.G 2/2023
