Viinilehti’s red wine of the year is Antiche Terre Ripasso Mezzo Monte Organic 2020.
The rich and dark-hued Argentinian Catena Malbec 2022 took silver. The cherry and flowery Spanish Torres Clos Ancestral 2023 took bronze.
The jury also chose the winning wine as the Organic Red Wine of the Year this year.
– Open, very nuanced and mellow nose with dried fruit, toasty spiciness and budding leatheriness. In addition to the aromas of the fragrance, the rather rich taste has a soft earthy earthiness, herbaceousness and nuances of ripe dark berries. Soft tannins and ripe berry acidity support the whole. The multi-hued and lively aftertaste is gently mouthwatering, herbal and excitingly floral, the jury describes the winning wine.
Food recommendation: A versatile wine to accompany aromatic dark meat dishes and hard, salty cheeses.
Price-quality: A find, excellent value for money
Price: €19.98
