Tinazzi Ca de Rocchi Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Montere 2021
Tinazzi Ca de Rocchi Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Montere 2021
Italian wine insiders know that a good Valpolicella Ripasso can offer a great wine that’s exceptionally good value for money, and this is certainly the case with the Tinazzi Ca’ de’ Rocchi Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Montere. Ripasso – ‘repassed’ in Italian – involves adding the skins and seeds left over after making Amarone wines to Valpolicella to give it greater depth, nuance and alcohol content. When done well, these wines can be seen as baby Amarone’s that drink well young and have sufficient intensity and character to pair with food. Made from a traditional blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, the grapes were given a short (7-10 day) fermentation before being matured in stainless steel on their lees for 6-9 months. The focus here is on fruit and immediacy, but there is still impressive complexity, depth and grip to make it a satisfying glassful.

Taste
Bright cherry red with a lovely rose-pink rim, the joy and life of this wine are evident from the off. The bouquet leaps from the glass, offering juicy red berries, fresh cherries, a touch of pomegranate and tingling spices. On the palate, the upbeat tone continues, with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries leading the charge, only for softer, weightier notes of plums, prunes, black cherries and coffee come through on the rounded tannins. A lot of wine for the money, the character and complexity are admirable, and while this is lovely on its own, it’s also great with foods ranging from a pasta ragu, a Friday night pizza to a leg of well-seasoned Sunday lamb.
Blend: 90% Corvina and Corvinone, 10% Rondinella
