WINE DESCRIPTION
This wine is a blend of 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta. As soon as the dried grapes for the Amarone are fermented, selected batches of Valpolicella wine are “re-passed” over the Amarone lees, thus starting a second fermentation that slightly increases the alcohol content and gives the wine deeper color and more complex aromas. Ripassa is refined in tank for six months and then aged in French allier tonneaux for eighteen months. The wine spends an additional six months in bottle before it is released.
TASTNG NOTES
Deep ruby-red in color, this wine shows intense aromas of blackberries and black currants underscored by aromas of spice pepper, and a hint of leather. On the palate, it is smooth and viscous with well-balanced acidity and alcohol.
FOOD PAIRING
Pair this wine with risotto, Lyonnaise sauces, beef negimaki, and rabbit ragu.
This red always shows a solid texture of polished tannins and ripe fruit with berry, chocolate and black tea. Full body. Plenty of fruit yet reserved and pretty. The best in a long time. Drink now or hold.
