Cantina Valpantena Italian Red
A fuller Valpolicella red, stocked in small quantity in Commack.
The story behind Cantina Valpantena
Ripasso is a Valpolicella red given extra weight by refermenting on the spent skins of Amarone. The result is a dry red with more body and darker fruit than a standard Valpolicella, and it stays food friendly. Expect dark cherry, dried plum and a warm spice note.
We carry the Cantina Valpantena Valpolicella Ripasso here in Commack. It is a small allocation for us, so availability moves quickly.

Which Cantina Valpantena is right for you?
The Cantina Valpantena Valpolicella Ripasso is priced at $14.99 for a 750mL bottle. That is a fair ask for a Ripasso, which normally costs more than a basic Valpolicella because of the extra pass over Amarone skins. We keep just a bottle or two on the shelf, so call ahead if you want one held.
Enough body for braised meat without overpowering the plate.
Dry and food friendly, easy to open on a Tuesday.
