Made from the traditional grapes of the Valpolicella region that are partially dried before fermentation, this robust Italian red wine offers lots of pleasure. Juicy delicious with aromas of purple plums and blackberries. Some dark cherries prance down the middle of this wine leaving you thirsty for a top up. Have fun with it!

Reviews and Ratings

Melanie Lloyd - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Aromas of black current jam, black tea, floral notes, and hints of menthol and dried eucalyptus leaves. Flavours of juicy dark berries, with a touch of wood, cocoa, and a slight bitter finish. There is a beautiful harmony between the flavours, the velvety tannins and the crisp acidity. Lovely wine!

Tasted November 2017

Lynn van der Linde - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Ripasso is a wine made from the carefully selected and dried grapes that go into an Amarone, and refermented (re-passed!) with the wine made from the undried grapes of Valpolicella.
Aromas of black cherries, figs and eucalyptus transform to a peppery cherry finish.
Wonderful with pizza and lighter pasta dishes.
Tasted January 2018.

Corte Giara La Groletta (2015) is a delicious, sumptuous, full-bodied Ripasso Valpolicella from the Veneto wine region. Lots of ripe, rich dark plums, blackberries and dark cherries, cake spice and anise on this rich red produced by the Allegrini family and have been producing wine since the 16th Century. Enjoy with meaty stews. - Community Wine Reviews
