Tommasi Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore 2022 Wine Review

Natalie's Score: 93/100

The Tommasi family has made wine near Verona since 1902, so after four generations the trial phase is clearly over. They’re Amarone royalty, and this Ripasso is the family’s baby Amarone. Once the Amarone is made, the young Valpolicella is passed back over the leftover grape skins. It’s an old farmers’ trick that wastes nothing and adds richness and spice. Tommasi released its first Ripasso in 1995. Silky tannins carry black pepper and ripe cherry in this generous red that offers excellent value.

Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore food pairings: beef short ribs braised in Amarone, grilled lamb chops, mushroom and sausage pasta.
