Description
Sourced from the heart of Italy’s renowned wine-producing region, Cantina Valpantena’s Valpolicella Ripasso is a testament to the tradition and passion that drives Italian winemaking. This exquisite 750mL bottle embodies the essence of the Valpolicella region, renowned for its rich viticultural heritage. As part of the Italian Red category, this wine is a perfect representation of the craftsmanship that Cantina Valpantena is celebrated for.
Valpolicella Ripasso is a unique and lavish wine that undergoes a distinctive production process, known as ‘Ripasso’. This technique involves re-fermenting the young wine with the remnants of dried grapes used for Amarone, imparting a complexity, depth, and richness that is unparalleled. The outcome is a harmonious blend that features the bold character of the Amarone with the fruity freshness of the Valpolicella, creating a sensory experience that is both refined and robust.
The wine reveals a deep ruby color, offering aromas of dark cherry and ripe berries, laced with hints of spices and a subtle touch of vanilla, reflecting the aging process in oak barrels. On the palate, it delivers a velvety texture with a well-balanced acidity, leading to a persistent and elegant finish. This medium to full-bodied red wine pairs splendidly with hearty dishes, including roasted meats, aged cheeses, and flavorful pastas, making it a versatile choice for any dining occasion.
