Monte Zovo Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore 2020

The 2020 Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso impresses with a rich blend of exotic spice, macerated cherries and sweet herbs. This is surprisingly racy and juicy in character, with a sheen of confectionary spice complementing its mineral-tinged red fruits. A burst of residual acidity creates a juicy sensation through the finale, as the 2020 finishes with hints of sour citrus and mint – what a beauty. Drinking window: 2024-2030. Score – 92.
