Winemaker Notes:  A deep garnet red in color, it has an ethereal bouquet of dried fruit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, mouth-filling and dry. A substantial wine of rare elegance that lends itself well to ageing. From organically grown grapes.

Excellent with richly flavored main courses based on red meat, such as braised meats and game, and perfect with mature cheeses. It can also be enjoyed on its own at the end of a fine dinner.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Vinous - "There's an exotic flair to the 2018 Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Sant'Urbano as foreign spices, dusty dried roses, red currants, and blood orange hints form its bouquet. This is supple and enveloping with stimulating acidity that adds an energetic feel, as tart cherry and raspberry fruits drench the palate. Its minerality comes through in the finish, almost salty in character as grippy tannins saturate, yet the wine remains amazingly fresh. The 2018 is wonderfully balanced and potent, a total success for the vintage. "


James Suckling - "A fresh, lightly exotic nose, offering dates, figs, fresh earth and a hint of toasted coconut. On the palate there’s a fresh, focused bead of ripe and dried fruit, riding equally intense, firm tannins. Long finish. From organically grown grapes. There’s a youthful feel to this. It’s just at the start of a long life. Give it a year or so to settle in. Best from 2023. "


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "Here's another informal, funtodrink wine from Speri located at the heart of the appellation in San Pietro in Cariano. The 2016 Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso represents a blend of organically farmed Corvina Veronese (70%), Rondinella (20%) and the rest is Molinara with other complementary red grapes. The ripasso technique sees wine made from fresh fruit fermented on the pumice of airdried fruit (used to make either Amarone or Recioto). In the case of this pretty vintage, you get fresh cherry and blackberry flavors followed by spice, tar and smoke. Production is 90,000 bottles. "
