The 2014 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is made with the same blend of grapes you find in the top-shelf Amarone. Only here, the wine shows more primary fruit with dried cherry and raspberry instead. It's a good pork-and-onion risotto pairing. There are lingering tones of smoke and spice, but this wine shows a lighter constitution overall and a more accessible drinking style. Some 8,000 bottles were made.
