Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Ripasso 2022, Veneto D.O.C., Italy: From Cantina Valpantena, Torre Del Falasco 2022 Valpolicella Ripasso is great value at $18. Vibrant, full-bodied and produced from mostly Corvina Veronese with some Rondinella and Corvinone wine grapes, Ripasso is a winemaking technique that takes Valpolicella (from the Veneto region) and then introduces the lees of Amarone into the wine, giving added richness, alcohol and texture to the wine. This example is big and beautiful with ripe dark fruit, dark cherry, savoury herbs, vanilla, cocoa, smoky and spicy notes plushy and vibrant on the palate. This toothsome Ripasso would be just perfect with a rich, slow-cooked beef brisket. Drink or hold to 2030. Valpolicella Ripasso food pairings: rich tomato sauce and pasta, vegetarian lasagna, fricassee rabbit. Drink: 2024 - 2030 642421 13% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 89/100. September 2025.
