2021 Palazzo Maffei Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore, Veneto

( £15.95, 14.5%, The Co-operative )

A Veneto red that tastes as good as it looks, this is a stylish, modern blend of Corvina, 30% Corvinone and 10% Rondinella, with plenty of acidity, a touch of appealing sweetness from the ripasso technique, red cherry, plum and pomegranate flavours, savoury,  tea leaf-like tannins and a fresh, balanced, persistent finish.
