La Giaretta, Veneto
The 'middle brother' between the basic Classico and single vineyard Superiore 'I Quadretti', the Ripasso takes a little of the character of both - the freshness and elegance of the former with more of the raisiny intensity of the latter. A very welltailored wine and equally well-priced given this level of complexity.
The La Giaretta estate
Introduced to us at Vinitaly 2006, the wines from La Giaretta have rapidly established themselves as among the most popular of our portfolio. When tasting, the progression from the basic Valpolicella all the way through to the astonishing single vineyard Amarone Riserva offers a clearly linear relationship, the wines increasing in intensity, power and richness BUT maintaining a freshness of fruit expression throughout. The release of the Amarone 'I Quadretti' 2001 last September was greeted with a flurry of excitement by eager clients and critics acknowledging this as one of the greatest Amarone wines produced in decades.
