Description
Ripasso is a wine with a production method specific to the Valpolicella region! Once the classic alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine re-ferments on the lees of Amarone and Recioto (two types of wines produced from dried grapes).
Ettore's version is made from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Croatina, and other native Valpolicella grape varieties grown on the Negrar hillside.
Once the two fermentations unique to Ripasso are complete, the wine is then aged for 12 to 18 months in 5 to 25 hL barrels.
The result is a unique wine with complex aromas of brandy-soaked cherries and fresh red fruits, enhanced by elegant herbal and spicy notes.
The palate is slightly structured but with a certain suppleness, a well-defined character, and enveloping tannins.
It will be an ideal companion for red meat dishes, game, or well-aged cheeses. Serve at room temperature in large glasses.
