94pt Ripasso Classico Superiority
Set a plate of pizza, pasta, or anything from the grill in front of me, and there’s a good chance I’ll be reaching for this.
Within the rolling hills of Valpolicella, Amarone reigns supreme. Powerful, aromatic, and meant to age, it’s a wine that collectors love to drink and discuss. But here’s one of our favorite secrets of northern Italy: Ripasso can combine those same characteristics, from the same varieties and terroir, with an incredible food-friendly energy. This 2023 captures the seductive intensity of Amarone at a fraction of the cost. For anyone craving that plush northern Italian style—balanced, opulent, and utterly drinkable—this wine is an absolute must.

Campagnola’s mastery of the ripasso tradition is on full display here. This winemaking process results in the perfect intermediary between Valpolicella and Amarone, offering the former’s juicy freshness with a bit of the latter’s luxuriance. Bold and aromatic, it brings all the deep complexity we love to find in Amarone, wrapped in a fresh and vibrant package. This wine is the perfect companion to roasted game, aged Parmigiano or slow-braised short ribs on a winter’s night.
