“Deep red in color with aromas of red fruits, especially prunes and cherries with a slight hint of nutmeg and a delicate balsamic note. This Ripasso has a strong flavor with just the right level of tannins, good persistence, and a strong, balanced finish.” – Winemaker's Notes

Description

"This wine is consisting of 80% Corvina, 10% Corvinone, and 10% Rondinella and is grown on selected vineyards in a hilly area at 150-300 metres above sea level in Valpolicella. After harvesting, the pressing and destemming of the grapes is performed with maceration and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 22-26°C for 10 days. At the end of December, the wine is passed over the Amarone marc to acquire more body and complexity. The wine then matures in 5-20-hectolitre, French and American oak barrels for 8-12 months.
