Natalie's Score: 90/100

Well-known for its amazing Pinot Grigio, Santa Margherita's medium-plus-bodied Ripasso Valpolicella is a relatively new venture for this producer. Love this juicy red from Veneto with its juicy black cherry, fresh mushroom, dried herb flavours on the palate. Elegant and finishing long and spicy. Pair with a veal Porterhouse steak.

Ripasso Valpolicella food pairings: meat lovers' pizza, chicken wings, grilled burgers, sausages.

This is a fantastic Ripasso Valpolicella from the Veneto wine region produced by world renown producer, Santa Margherita. Juicy, full-bodied Italian red wine, deep ruby in the glass with a raisined fruit, ripe cherry nose. Lush on the palate with blackberry, dark cherry compote, anise and savoury spice flavours. Pair with grilled ribs or after dinner with dark chocolate. - Community Wine Reviews
