"A very pleasant Ripasso with super-clean red and black fruit, together with a darker note of charred oak. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins and a flavorful finish. A tasty, savory option now, but this is well-structured and ready for further bottle aging" James Suckling, Aug 2021
Ruby red colour with garnet flecks, intense and persistent aroma, dry velvety taste with cherry and dry fruit finish, robust and balanced body.
This is a red blend of 55% Corvina Veronese, 25% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella and 5% Croatina growun in vineyards located in the hills of Valpolicella, north of Verona.
Selection in the vineyard of the best grape bunches. The grapes are subsequently pressed gently and this is followed by a skin maceration at low temperature for 8-10 days. Peculiarity of this product is the following “ripasso” of the wine on the Amarone skins in February. This second maceration favours the extraction of tannins, which give this wine its longevity, and of the typical fragrance of Amarone wine. After the malolactic fermentation, maturation takes place for between 18-24 month in medium and large size oak casks. Finally the wine is refined for at least 6 months in the bottle prior to release.
Food Pairing: Typically winter cuisine, games, roasted meats, strong cheeses.
