This wine is made from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes which are carefully handpicked during the month of October from vines in the Valpolicella Classica area in the towns of Marano di Valpolicella, San Pietro in Cariano and Negrar. The vineyards are at a height of 150 to 350 metres above sea level. Every year we produce from 18000 to 20000 bottles of Valpolicella Ripasso which are sold using Burgundy bottles of 750 ml, sealed with a natural cork.
Valpolicella Ripasso is a clear, vibrant ruby red colour with an intense and complex bouquet of red fruits, such as raspberries, cherries and morello cherries which evolves into a spicier flavour of vanilla and cloves. It has a crisp, tannin taste which coats the palate with a gentle warmth and a pleasant dry aftertaste.
The suggested serving temperature is 18° C. The wine goes well with rich first courses, red meats and with cheeses that aren’t too mature. It also goes well with lasagna.
