Valpolicella Superiore Valpantena
Red fruit and hints of spice
Intense ruby red color with wide bouquet of ripe red fruit and hints of spices, reminiscent of tobacco and black pepper.
PAIRINGS
It goes well with hearty main course dishes, roasted meat, grilled red meats and medium aging cheeses.
DETAILS
- Alcohol Content: 14.5%
- Vinification: Grapes are pressed and by gravity they drop in small fermentation tanks (50 HI). Daily pumping over and delestage are carried over throughout the duration of fermentation. Ripasso is the result of a second fermentation on Amarone pomace that takes place in February of the year following the harvest. As a result of this second fermentation the wine acquires body, structure, alcohol and aromas.
- Ageing: Ripasso ages in selected oak of different sizes, mostly barriques and larger casks. It then refines in bottle.
AVAILABLE AT
Fine dining establishments across Ontario.
