The Montecariano 2016 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore has aged slowly and gracefully to show extra dimension and good depth. The bouquet has dried fruits like fig and apricot, as well as spicy notes of tar and toasted cinnamon. The wine is streamlined and polished in terms of mouthfeel. If you catch this bottle now, you've hit a good time in its drinking window. Only 5,300 bottles exist.
