Vinorandum rated wines made from Rondinella


Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG
Cantina Giovanni Ederle, Veneto, Italy
2016 2013
Corvina (50%)Corvinone (30%)Rondinella (20%)
“A lighter style of Amarone that leans on impressive fragrance and a fresh, floral personality. Still young and a little closed, but plenty of violets and rose petal on the nose to compliment a subtle note of black fruit. A firm, structured palate holds up a graceful curtain of forest fruits and sweet spice. Elegant and deftly balanced, it’s an unassuming and authentic contender, but unmistakably Amarone.”
93 Paul Caputo
Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore
Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore
Cantina Giovanni Ederle, Veneto, Italy
2018
Corvina (50%)Corvinone (30%)Rondinella (20%)
“Clove, liquorice and wild herb jostles with swirling notes of plum, blackberry and tobacco to offer an enticingly complex nose. Medium bodied, with velvety rich tannins and deep waves of black fruit compote, this is a fine example of balanced and elegant ripasso. Showcases both terroir and the power of the technique.”
91 Paul Caputo
Valpolicella DOC Superiore
Valpolicella DOC Superiore
Cantina Giovanni Ederle, Veneto, Italy
2018
Corvina (50%)Corvinone (30%)Rondinella (20%)
“A bright and fun nose of summer fruits, with lots of vibrant and juicy berry flavours. Red fruit predominantly, although a backbone of black fruit and chocolate runs through it. Attractive, fresh, authentic.”
89 Paul Caputo
Valpolicella DOC
Valpolicella DOC
Cantina Giovanni Ederle, Veneto, Italy
2018
Corvina (50%)Corvinone (30%)Rondinella (20%)
“Fragrant, and delightfully fresh, this shows delicate red fruit on the nose with a polished but authentic charm. An ideal choice for a casual lunch, this is bright and pretty, bringing together ripe cherry and dark berry notes to partner flashes of violet scents. Very subtle, but plenty of personality to compliment its mineral finesse. A simple but effective wine.”
88 Paul Caputo
Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Valpantena
Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Valpantena
Bertani, Veneto, Italy
2019
Corvina (85%)Merlot (10%)Rondinella (5%)
“Crowd pleaser. Ripe cherry on the nose, backed up by faint notes of violets and sweet spice. Medium bodied with fresh acidity. Well structured, dry tannin ensconced in bitter cherry, dried red fruits, tobacco leaf and a touch of fennel. Dry, modest finish.”
87 Paul Caputo
Valpolicella DOC “Ruberpan” Superiore
Valpolicella DOC “Ruberpan” Superiore
Pieropan, Veneto, Italy
2019
Corvina (60%)CorvinoneCroatinaRondinella
“Wild strawberry and cranberry notes on the nose. Underlay of tangy forest fruits. Impressive energy with lifted scents of fresh cherry complimenting subtle aromas of flint and graphite. The palate is fresh and vibrant, but its relatively concentrated body fits its sturdy frame like a glove. Fantastic Valpolicella exuding both individual personality and the characteristics of its chalk and clay origins on the steep slopes of Monte Garzon.”
91 Paul Caputo
