Ugolini “Monte Solane” Valpolicella Ripasso 2017 – Single‑Vineyard Cru
A stunning expression of Valpolicella’s elegance and depth, the “Monte Solane” Ripasso springs from a high-altitude Cru vineyard at 650 m above sea level. Crafted using traditional appassimento, salasso, and ripasso methods, then matured in French oak, this organic red is rich with notes of ripe cherries, tobacco, black pepper, cocoa, and Mediterranean herbs. On the palate it’s warm and balanced, revealing vibrant red fruits, fine tannins, and a dry, mineral finish.
Best savored with aged cheese, hearty risottos, rich meats, game, or aromatic seafood dishes. Gently decant for an hour to unlock its full character.
