Tenuta Sant’Antonio Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Monti Garbi 2021

92 pts – Vinous

The 2021 Valpolicella Ripasso Monti Garbi is dark and attractive, with a blend of dusty dried flowers, exotic spices and dried black cherries smoldering up from the glass. This displays silky textures, balancing ripe wild berry fruits against saline minerals and a bitter tinge of sour orange. It tapers off long, leaving the mouth watering for more as rosy inner florals and hints of tart raspberry slowly fade. The savory Ripasso possesses a balance seldom seen.

Description

The Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Monti Garbi of Tenuta Sant’Antonio is born in vineyards located in the municipalities of Colognola ai Colli and Mezzane di Sotto, in the province of Verona.

It is mainly produced with Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, harvested only by hand. After a soft pressing, the grapes ferment in barriques at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts, used for the Amarone grapes. Subsequently the wine ages in barrique for 15-16 months before being bottled.

It is characterized by a ruby red color. The nose opens with elegant hints of red fruits and cherries. On the palate it is soft, fresh and pleasantly enveloping, with a tannic body and a spicy aftertaste.

Winemaker Notes

Food Pairing

Perfect to accompany first courses with meat sauce and aged cheeses, it is ideal in combination with grilled red meats, roasts and white meats.
