Description

This wine is a blend of 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella, and 5% Oseleta. As soon as the dried grapes for the Amarone are fermented, selected batches of Valpolicella wine are re-passed over the Amarone lees, thus starting a second fermentation that slightly increases the alcohol content and gives the wine deeper color and more complex aromas. Ripassa is refined in tank for six months and then aged in French allier tonneaux for eighteen months. The wine spends an additional six months in bottle before it is released.

Veneto

Veneto, in northeastern Italy, is praised for its diverse wine styles. The region produces excellent Prosecco, a sparkling wine made from the Glera grape, and Amarone della Valpolicella, a robust red wine made from dried grapes. Veneto also excels in producing Soave, a crisp white wine. The wines from this region are characterized by their balance, vibrant acidity, and distinctive regional character. Prosecco is known for its light, fruity flavors and refreshing bubbles, while Amarone offers rich, concentrated flavors of dried fruit and spice. Soave wines are celebrated for their crisp acidity and flavors of citrus and green apple.
