Campo Bastiglia Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2022 – Ca’ Rugate
Elevate your understanding of Valpolicella with Campo Bastiglia Ripasso Superiore 2022, a standout from Ca' Rugate. Crafted using the prestigious Ripasso method, where a young Valpolicella undergoes secondary fermentation over Amarone pomace—this wine captures concentrated flavour and silky texture.
This vintage reveals a sparkling, vibrant ruby hue and opens with a fragrant, highly appealing nose of fresh cherry, pomegranate, and dried orange zest. On the palate, it delivers a richly fruited experience, blackberry and blueberry notes flowing seamlessly over finely woven, well-integrated tannins, leading to a persistent, elegant finish.
The blend is 45% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, and 15% Rondinella, ideal for delivering Valpolicella’s characteristic elegance with added depth. Growing in gravel and limestone soils around Montecchia di Crosara, the fruit reflects true hillside terroir.
At about 14-14.5% ABV, this wine brings a medium-full body and polished texture. It earned a stellar 94 points from Falstaff, calling it richly fruited, elegantly structured, and long-lasting.
Perfect with pasta in meaty sauces, grilled red meats, game, or medium-aged cheeses. Campo Bastiglia 2022 delivers power, finesse, and typicity, a superb value from a top-tier Veneto producer.
