Buglioni 'Il Bugiardo' Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore, Veneto, Italy 2022

Rich and enveloping, this Ripasso unfolds with waves of dripping ripe plums, blackberry jam, and fresh figs, while delicate violet perfume lifts the wine out of the glass. A backbone of smoke and earth grounds the wine, adding complexity without heaviness. The palate shows impressive depth and concentration yet maintains poise through its savory finish, a balancing act that keeps you coming back for more rather than weighing you down.
