Scriani, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso, 2019, Italy

As you would expect from a Valpolicella classic this is very good red wine from Scriani. Its on the dry side, bold but smooth with plenty of red and black fruit flavours. It’s got excellent length of the flavours and even went well with salad but better suited with pasta dish or a lump of red meat.

At £18 a bottle it’s not cheap by red wine standards but decent for the quality of a Valpolicella.
