Est. delivery mid-November, 2026 Brigaldara's Ripasso is the kind of wine that explains why the Valpolicella hills are worth getting excited about. Made by passing young Valpolicella Superiore over the pressed skins of dried Amarone grapes, it borrows weight and richness from its grander sibling without quite shouldering Amarone's intensity or price tag. The result is a wine that drinks like a halfway house between easy Valpolicella and brooding Amarone, and does so with real charm. Expect dark cherry, baked plum, and a gentle warmth from the raisined grapes that gave it a second life in the cellar. There's a velvety texture, soft tannins wrapped in chocolate and dried herb, and enough structure to suggest it isn't just for drinking young.
