A nose loaded with dark fruits and spices evolves with each sniff, prompting deeper thinking. The first sip commands the senses with electric flavors of cherries, plums, and a whisper of chocolate. The palate is a leather jacket over a tailored suit, effortlessly cool and undeniably stylish. Whether you pair it with hearty meat dishes or savor it alone, this Ripasso is a true taste of Valpolicella’s soul. Score: 93 (Jeff Porter, Wine

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, the Tenuta di Trinoro 2022 Le Cupole remains one of Italy’s greatest value buys, especially for fans of concentrated, sun-drenched Tuscan reds. The fruit is ripe, but not overripe, and there are thick layers of blackcurrant and Morello cherry at the core. These are framed by toasted spice and cinnamon. The wine is medium to full-bodied, although the ample fruit weight gives this vintage a bigger overall mouthfeel. Drink date: 2024-2035.
