  James Suckling gave ot 90 points, but he overrates Italian wines. Per instructor and Wine Searcher, the producer takes the Corvina grape, sun dried on mats for 3 months, fermented for Amarone wine and then uses the lees again in combination with Valipocella wine to do a second ferment.
  
  Earthy nose. Taste of blackberry. Pretty good but not a good QPR at the listed price of $22.99.
  
  From wine searcher: Valpolicella Ripasso is a fruity, complex red wine from the Valpolicella viticultural zone of Veneto, in the northeast of Italy. Established as a DOC in 2010, the ripasso method is utilized for the production of Valpolicella Ripasso by combining leftover lees with standard Valpolicella wine for a second fermentation to create a deeper, more character-laden wine.
