Secco-Bertani Valpolicella Valpatena Ripasso
2009 (WS87, $21.99, SKU 342873) I saw this wine displayed in the aisles of the
39th LDB store and the word “Bertani” caught my eyes. I remembered
it as the maker of a very fine Amarone wine. The Ripasso is made with partially
dried grape skin from the Amarone method. The bottle also looked like a serious wine. After decanting for an hour, the wine showed strong tannins
with a medium body. There were taste of multiple herbs. This is definitely a
food wine, so enjoy it with some Italian food or pizza. I also tasted it 24
hours later and more of the fruit came through.
