Offering good value at a low price, Ripasso Pegrandi is a crisp, focused and polished blend from Valpolicella with an immediate and food-friendly style. Its soft, plush texture is washed clean off the palate thanks to the natural acidity. ——M.L.(12/1/2011)—— 87

Here’s a thick, dense ripasso with a dusty, aristocratic quality that makes the wine taste older than it really is. The wine is accented by notes of smoked bacon and beef jerky and shows very good depth and complexity overall. It’s good value too. Imported by Premium Brands.——M.L.(10/1/2009)—— 88
