Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Classico
€18.50
Wine made from a selection of Corvina Veronese, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, harvested only by hand, towards the end of September and early October. The grapes are then left to rest until November, when they are vinified and subsequently subjected to the ancient technique of “Ripasso”, which consists in the refermentation of Valpolicella Superiore vintage on the skins of Amarone, achieving an improvement of the color, intensity of fragrances and an increase of the alcohol content.
