About the wine
Ripasso is a traditional process of re-fermenting young red wines on the mash of a higher-quality wine in order to refine the wine. Ripasso is a specialty in Valpolicella. He is considered Amarone's little brother. With Ripasso, the Valpolicella is fermented normally and then placed on the Amarone mash for a few weeks after the Amarone has been peeled off. The Ripasso is more voluminous and has more sweet tannins combined with ripe fruit than the normal Valpolicella. This process makes the structure, color and taste of Valpolicella more intense, more similar to Amarone, without losing its unmistakable freshness.
Tasting note
Ruby red, ripe berry aromas with a little spice, smooth structure, soft and full body, pleasant lingering aftertaste.
Culinary recommendation
Absolute top with roasts, is excellent with grilled and pot cooked meats and with aged cheese.
Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and crushed. Fermentation takes place between 22° and 28°. This is followed by a maceration period of 12 days. The wine then remains in steel tanks until January. In the winter months, Amarone mash is added to this wine after pressing, followed by another slight fermentation for 2-3 weeks. The result is called ripasso. The final ageing takes place in large wooden barrels for at least 12 months.
