The Campagnola Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 2017 is a delightful expression of Italy’s Veneto region, showcasing the rich, sun-soaked terroir that gives this wine its character. Scoring 92 points from James Suckling, it reveals an enticing bouquet of ripe cherries, dried figs, and subtle hints of spice, all underpinned by a velvety texture that makes each sip a pleasure. The layers of flavor unfold beautifully, with notes of dark chocolate and a touch of herbal complexity that add depth. This wine is perfect for cozy gatherings, pairing exceptionally well with hearty pasta dishes or a charcuterie board. At its retail price, it represents a fantastic value, delivering quality that rivals much higher-priced offerings.
