    • Description

      The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Monti Garbi 2022 from Tenuta Sant'Antonio is one of the most famous Ripasso wines from Valpolicella. Thanks to the traditional ripasso method, this wine gains more power, depth and complexity than a classic Valpolicella, while retaining its fresh character. The combination of ripe red fruit, spicy notes and soft tannins makes this a versatile Italian red wine that is excellent for both everyday meals and festive dinners. 

      Cherry, strawberry, cinnamon and liquorice

      In the glass, this Ripasso shows a deep ruby red colour. The aroma is rich and inviting with notes of ripe cherries, strawberries and red fruit, complemented by hints of cinnamon, liquorice and a subtle touch of wood. The taste is full and juicy with a beautiful balance between ripe fruit, fresh acidity and soft tannins. The long, elegant finish makes every sip exceptionally refined.

      Traditional ripasso method with wood ageing

      This wine is made from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina and Oseleta. After the first fermentation, a portion of the wine undergoes a second fermentation on the skins left over after the production of Amarone. This traditional ripasso method provides extra concentration, aroma and structure. The wine then ages for twelve months in large Slavonian oak barrels, developing additional softness and complexity. 

      Perfect with stew, game and grilled red meat

      This Valpolicella Ripasso is an excellent accompaniment to stews, grilled red meat, game such as deer steak or wild boar, pasta with rich meat sauces and aged hard cheeses. Its full character also comes into its own beautifully with an extensive charcuterie board with Italian cured meats and cheeses. 

      Tenuta Sant'Antonio

      Tenuta Sant'Antonio belongs to the absolute top of the Veneto region. The four Castagnedi brothers combine traditional grape varieties with modern winemaking techniques and produce internationally awarded Valpolicella, Amarone, Soave and Scaia wines. Their vineyards on the calcareous slopes of Monti Garbi yield wines with great elegance, freshness and terroir expression. 

      Why choose Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Monti Garbi?

      This Ripasso is an excellent choice for lovers of full-bodied, soft Italian red wines. The combination of ripe cherries, strawberries, cinnamon, liquorice and subtle oak ageing creates a wine with great character and excellent value for money. An ideal wine for an elaborate dinner or a pleasant evening with friends.
