Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Classico “Croce del Gal” BLACK LABEL
€26.50
Wine made from dried grapes of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Croatina, selected in our best and oldest vineyards. The grapes are harvested only by hand, in early October, then left to rest in boxes until November, when they are vinified and subsequently subjected to the ancient technique of “Ripasso”. It consists in the refermentation of Valpolicella Superiore vintage on the skins of Amarone “Croce del Gal”, getting an enhancement in colour, intensity of fragrance and an increase in alcohol content. This wine is produced in limited quantities.
