Campagnola Bine Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso Italy 2004

87/100 45

Ripasso means that the wine has been allowed to ferment for a second time on the lees of an Amarone - transforing it from a light red into a more full-bodied red. This is a very flavoursome and appealing red with dense juicy berry flavours and plenty of weight. Excellent value at this price.

Tasted: Apr 2007    Average price: NZD $27 (~USD $21)
