Catullo Valpolicella Ripasso DOC

Bertani's Catullo Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2018 exemplifies the refined character of this Veneto classic. Corvina-based, the wine displays a compelling nose of dark fruit compote and cherry, underpinned by subtle almond and herbaceous undertones. On the palate, the medium body and balanced tannin structure deliver a wine that is both approachable and layered, with restrained oak integration and a lingering spice finish. The Ripasso technique—partial drying of grapes before fermentation—adds depth without heaviness, making this a versatile food companion.
