The Ripasso method is delicately achieved conducting a secondary extended maceration and fermentation over the Amarone grape skins, giving the wine higher complexity, bolder and softer body, and intense colour. Reminiscent of the Amarone, the wine is a vivid ruby red colour. At the nose, intense hints of cherry, blueberry, licorice and lingering accents of cinnamon and pepper. At the palate, soft and warm structured velvet tannins and very balanced acidity. Long finish with fruity sensations.
Ripasso is created when un-raisinated Valpolicella wine is rested in last year's Amarone barrels. This enobles the Valpolicella by extracting some of the elegance and power from the remaining Amarone lees. The wines are not ageworthy like Amarone, but they drink beautifully and represent a great bargain. That's what happened here!
