Natalie's Score: 90/100

Love that smoky, meaty, sizzling bacon nose! The Antiche Terre winery was founded in 2000, and in a short time has earned a reputation for respecting the traditions of the Veneto wine region, while injecting some new energy and style into its winemaking. Honkin' big black fruit with great depths of flavour and concentration. A pleasant finish with some notes of tar and smoke. Awesome price! Fire up the grill please!

Ripasso Valpolicella food pairings: grilled steaks, gourmet sausages, hamburgers, pasta with chorizo.

Reviews and Ratings

Heather Wall - CS; WSET Advanced rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Deep ruby and inky with concentrated black fruits, dried fruit, vanilla, black earth, leather and tar. This is a brooding wine yet contains a refreshing amount of acidity to fruit balance. Youthful tannins with all this black fruit will give this wine some potential to age. Enjoy this medium+ body Ripasso with grilled red meats, game, meat lovers pizza. Decant 1 hour.
Tasted: May 2015
This robust red wine is made using the Ripasso method to add more depth and concentration to the final wine. This traditional method from Verona area adds young fresh wine to the Amarone skins of the grapes then referments the wine again so there is both freshness and fullness. - Community Wine Reviews
