Cantine di Ora Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2023 (6 Bottles) Verona, Italy

G'day, tuck into the Cantine di Ora Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2022 from the Ora cooperative in the hills outside Verona, Italy, where ripe Valpolicella fruit runs through spent Amarone skins, creating a rich, smoky red with serious depth and a hit of Alpine lift. This is textbook Ripasso done right, with the structure to cellar but the juiciness to pour tonight. The palate is medium to full bodied with rounded, chewy tannins and a grippy yet polished finish that begs for food.
