Bertani Secco Valpolicella Valpantena Ripasso 2011
Editorial Review by Gregory Dal Piaz:
Floral and mineral on the nose with strong aromas of limestone and mineral water, over underlying spice with hints of violets and some dried cherry fruit. Fresher and lighter on entry than one might expect but this quickly gains focus in the mouth with good acids and austere little tannins adding dryness and depth to the palate. The flavors are subtle, much more mineral, redolent of iron and rust, than fruity though there is fine underlying raspberry and wild cherry fruit here. The finish is all cut and firmness, if a bit on the short side. A very nervy vintage. 87pts
