Ruby-red in colour tending to garnet with age; it offers a slightly ethereal perfume of red fruits with notes of vanilla. The flavour is fine, velvety and balanced, with good body and intensity.

Winemaking
The term ‘ripasso’ has always had a very specific meaning for producers and oenologists in the Valpolicella area. It is a winemaking technique which has a long and consolidated tradition in the area and which, as far as anybody knows, has no equivalent in any other region, in Italy or elsewhere. The ‘ripasso’ system involves macerating Valpolicella wine on the fermented skins of grapes previously used to make Recioto or Amarone. When the new Amarone/Recioto has been racked off the skins, fresh Valpolicella wine is added to the same tank and left in contact with the partially fermented pommace. The aim of the process is to add smoothness, complexity and body.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
This wine perfectly pairs with winter first courses, cold cuts, game and roast meats and medium-seasoned cheese.
