Monte del Frà Tenuta Lena di Mezzo Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 2021

A rebellious wine, unapologetically honest in its expression of the land. A nose loaded with dark fruits and spices evolves with each sniff, prompting deeper thinking. The first sip commands the senses with electric flavors of cherries, plums, and a whisper of chocolate. The palate is a leather jacket over a tailored suit, effortlessly cool and undeniably stylish. Whether you pair it with hearty meat dishes or savor it alone, this Ripasso is a true taste of Valpolicella’s soul. (Jeff Porter,Wine Enthusiast,April 1, 2025)
