This is a Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Farina 2022. I really enjoyed it. Red fruit, slightly spicy and hint of licorice. 6.2g of sugar, usually high for my taste but this one makes it smooth and enjoyable. $20 SAQ — 4 days ago

Blend of Corvina (60%), Rondinella (30%) and Molinara (10%). Dark ruby/purple color with a garnet rim. Ripe red and black fruit aromas with notes of herbs and spices. Flavors of ripe cooked black cherries, cocoa powder, roasted herbs, orange zest and a hint of pepper spice. Long and slightly sweet finish. Mild tannins and acidity. Velvety texture and quite bright.

A blend of 75% Corvina, 20% Rondinella & 5% Molinara, deep Ruby with distinctive raisiny berry fruit flavors and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry with vanilla spice, nicely balanced with soft and smooth warming tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, licorice and tobacco. Can age well. Nice! — 5 years ago

. 60% Corvinone and 40% Molinara, the grapes were hand harvested and destemmed, and lightly pressed using only free run juice. A short 5 to 6 day maceration, aged in cement tanks. Native yeasts fermentation, no filtering or fining, nothing added save a small sulfites dose for stability. — 6 years ago

Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG 2021
Torre d’Orti – Veneto, Italy 🇮🇹

Overview
A traditional Amarone crafted primarily from Corvina (with Corvinone), Rondinella, and a small percentage of Molinara, produced using the appassimento method (partially dried grapes). 17% ABV. A powerful expression leaning rustic rather than refined in this vintage.

Aromas & Flavors
Dried cherry, baked plum, subtle fig, light cocoa, faint walnut and restrained raisin tones. Tertiary notes present but not deeply layered.

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and structured with elevated alcohol. Firm tannins and a slightly edgy texture. Lacks the seamless velvety integration expected from more polished Amarone examples.

Food Pairings
Braised meats, aged cheeses, wild boar ragù, mushroom-based dishes.

Verdict
Technically correct and gastronomic, but did not fully deliver the plush refinement and layered complexity often associated with top-tier Amarone. Better at the table than as a contemplative standalone pour.

🍷 Did You Know?
Corvina is the aromatic backbone of Amarone, responsible for cherry and spice notes, while Rondinella contributes color and structure. Balance during drying is crucial, integration is everything. — 4 months ago

Blend of Corvinone, Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. Dark ruby color with a garnet rim. Aromas of cherries, cocoa powder, leather, forest floor and dried rose petals. Interesting flavors of dried red and black cherry fruit, cola, bacon fat and tobacco. A bit of a smoky note on the medium-plus/very smooth finish. Syrupy, complex and rich. Well layered and fairly well balanced. Silky tannins. Thanks for sharing, Keith S! — a year ago
