Valpolicella Ripasso DOC is an eclectic and unique wine, it stands out from Valpolicella Classico because it is obtained through a very unique winemaking technique, that of Ripasso.

The production technique for this wine consists of leaving Valpolicella Superiore in contact with the dried grape pomace used for the production of Amarone. This is then followed by an aging phase in oak barrels for at least 24 months. The result is a ruby-colored wine with garnet reflections, offering aromas of red fruit, floral and with spicy notes; a refined, harmonious and velvety flavor. Due to its grapes, its characteristics, and the way it is produced, we can say that Ripasso is a unique wine: it has its own distinct and defined personality, a full-bodied yet captivating character, soft and enveloping.
