TENUTA SANT' ANTONIO 2008 "MONTI GARBI" RIPASSO (BABY AMARONE) VALPOLICELLA, ITALY - 750ML

91 POINTS WINE ENTHUSIAST:
This is a standout ripasso that offers everything you should look for (and more) in this category of wine: intensity, freshness, persistency and loads of succulent fruit. Aromas include cherry liqueur, spice and chocolate.

Reveals a soft, floral expression of red fruits framed by silky tannins. This medium-bodied, restrained wine offers lovely balance. This is essentially a Valpolicella made in the ripasso style which involves a secondary fermentation on the skins and stems of the estate's Amarone. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2012.
