Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore
This wine is a blend of 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, and 10% Croatina and Oseleta. Once the dried grapes for the Amarone have finished fermenting, selected batches of Valpolicella wine are combined with the lees of Amarone, thus starting a second fermentation that slightly increases the alcohol content and gives the wine deeper color, increased extract, and more complex aromas. The result is liquid velvet.
Tasting Notes
The gem-like ruby red color of the Ripassa is so visually appealing. On the palate, it is full bodied and almost plush. Complex flavors of black cherry, chocolate and spice combine for a rich, harmonious experience.
Food Pairing
Recommended with grilled meat dishes or rabbit casserole.
