94 pts – Wine Enthusiast

This wine hits every target. Candied cherries lead the charge while cocoa and earth notes sneak up from behind. The palate brings that perfect balance between sweet fruit and savory depth, like someone who knows exactly how to build a flavor bomb. When all the pieces click into place and you just have to smile. — Jeff Porter

91 pts – Vinous

Dusty rose, cedary spice, nuances of split pine and dried black cherries form an inviting bouquet as the 2022 Valpolicella Ripasso Monti Garbi entices from the glass. It presents a pretty inner sweetness contrasted by crisp red berry fruits and mineral tones, with hints of clove adding contrast toward the close. The finish is pleasantly chewy and long, leaving a twang of sour citrus that enlivens the senses.

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

On the nose, notes of red fruit and cherry. On the palate, it is sweet, soft, enveloping, fresh, savory and quite tannic with a spicy aftertaste.

Food Pairing

Pairs perfectly with rich, savory dishes. Ideal pairings include pasta with hearty meat ragùs, roasted or grilled red meats, and medium-aged hard cheeses.
