2022 Valpolicella Ripasso Acrum, L’Arco

The 2022 Valpolicella Ripasso Acrum from L’Arco comes from the rolling hills of Valpolicella in Veneto, near Verona, where limestone soils and cooling Alpine breezes shape wines of freshness and depth. Produced by Luca Fedrigo, a former assistant to the legendary Giuseppe Quintarelli, L’Arco is a tiny estate known for traditional, low-intervention methods and indigenous grapes like Corvina and Rondinella. The 2022 vintage is vibrant yet supple, showing ripe cherry, dried herbs, spice and a gently savoury note. Its silky texture and lively acidity make it a joy with braised meats, mushroom dishes or well-aged cheeses.
