Voss Expert tasting note
This Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso is a robust, full-bodied Italian red wine with an intense bouquet of ripe cherries, plums and spices on the nose. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with soft tannins that stay long on the finish.

Decent effort, but ultimately disappointing. Bertani is a well-known Valpolicella brand, and this ripasso superiore is a solid choice, but it falls short of expectations. The high bracing quality level requires careful pairing with food. The aromas of cherry, raisins, smoke, and spices are present, but the lasting impression is merely average, with strong tannins.

Well-balanced and balanced fruit with a pleasant finish, the dried cranberry offers a sweet and racy taste experience.
Ayslan Slemp
Elegant and consistent wine, with a subtle yet elegant composition that leaves little to be desired. Its graceful nose is shaped by a soft seamlessness of cherry, earth, and roasted peppers, which are expertly woven together. The mouthfeel is similarly refined, with a polished close that is seamlessly integrated. A light mineral and herbal character adds strength and complexity, meanwhile a savory salty bacon note provides a pleasing savory element. However, the in summary effect is somewhat forgettable, with a rating of 3.75⭐️.

Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso is praised for its rich fruit flavors, including cherry, plum, and berry, with notes of vanilla and oak. It offers a smooth, full-bodied texture, though some find it lacking in complexity and depth. While many appreciate its balance and finish, others feel it falls short of expectations, particularly compared to other ripassos. The wine pairs well with Italian dishes, making it a versatile choice.
This Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso is a robust, full-bodied Italian red wine with an intense bouquet of ripe cherries, plums and spices on the nose. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with soft tannins that stay long on the finish. It has a good balance between acidity and sweetness and a lingering finish of vanilla and dark chocolate. Enjoy this well-crafted Italian wine now or cellar for up to 10 years.
