Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC 2019

The vineyards are located on a hill facing south at an altitude that varies between 400 and 530m above sea level, and are trained using the Veronese pergola system. The soil is predominantly calcareous-clayey with a high percentage of rock and stone. The harvest takes place strictly by hand, starting in the last week of September and continuing until October. “Ripasso” is a winemaking technique which involves, in the period of March, the passing of the Valpolicella Classico over the Amarone pomace, rich in alcohol and sugars. This leads to a second fermentation, after which the wine will be left to mature in barriques and large 2000 liter oak barrels for at least a year.

Intense ruby ​​red color, notes of spices, black pepper above all, and ripe cherry. Soft sip, refreshed by a nice acidity.

Pasta with meat sauces, boiled and stewed; also grilled meats.
