Tasting Notes: It has an intense purple-red colour with purplish highlights. On the nose, it has a very clean and intense aroma of ripe red fruit with hints of dark fruit, such as bramble, blackcurrant and ripe cherry. It is velvety and well-balanced, full and round while maintaining a lively and intense grip, with a sapid aftertaste.
Food Pairing: This dense Ripasso can be easily matched with different Italian dishes: flavoursome pasta and rice dishes such as risotto with porcini mushrooms, grilled and roast meat and medium-matured cheeses.
Winemaking: This wine is made with second fermentation, locally known as “Ripasso”. In January/February, the fresh, young vintage Valpolicella wine refers on the still slightly sweet Amarone
Ripasso is a wine from Verona’s country tradition and is made using a very old winemaking practice called “Ripasso”. This technique involves reintroducing the young Valpolicella wine to the skins at the end of the fermentation of Recioto. The wine becomes warm and mature. In Ripasso there is the freshness and drinkability of the Valpolicella, but also the richer and more concentrated sensations of chocolate and sour cherry from the dried grapes.
