The Valpolicella wine produced in September-October is re-fermented for 15-20 days in January on the lees of the Amarone using the ripasso method. The Amarone lees and skins contain sugars and re-fermentation absorbs about 10% of Amarone, giving the wine more aromatic complexity while maintaining Valpolicella’s lighter mouthfeel. The presence of residual sugar in the pomace of Amarone Valpolicella allows the extraction of the characteristics typical of Amarone: aromas of dried fruit, alcohol and structure.

Tasting Notes:

This Valpolicella Classico Ripasso Superiore offers a bouquet of intense red fruits notes such as currant, strawberry and black cherry. On the palate the wine is medium in body but with a surprisingly enveloping mature berry flavor with hints of dried figs, coffee notes and cocoa powder. It is silky with sweet/ripe red fruit flavor. Excellent with pasta dishes, roasted lamb and duck breast. Also, a great pairing with gorgonzola cheese and dark chocolate-based desserts.
