Decanter 95
"Part of the GIV group, this Valpolicella-based house sources fruit from a network of growers in the various Verones zones. Some 45,000 bottles of this wine are produced annually from tufa-based vineyards around Monteforte d'Alpone. Cryo-maceration and frequent battonage during several months on the fine less help extract the maximum from the fruit. Following fermentation, a small proportion of wine from the later-harvested, lightly dried grapes is added back to the mix to boost aroma and structure. Oenologist Luca De Palma claims the inspiration for this grew out of his familiarity with the ripasso process used for producing red wines locally."
"Waxy, bready, ripe and with some concentration. Lovely elegance and layers of complexity on the nose which bodes well. Spicy palate with lovely depth of flavour. Crisp finish with fresh minerality."~JH
