Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOP

A smooth and elegant wine that apears to be lighter-bodied than it really is thanks to its powerful alcohol being so well integrated. It certainly does not lack complexity. A gentle swirl will release very subtle fragrances of ripe dark cherry and, paradoxically, a hint of tobacco leaf. Silky and seductive, with judicious impressions of ripe fruit and spices.
Following the traditional “ripasso” method, the wine is refermented in January on the skins of the grapes used to produce Amarone. The wine matures at least three years in large Slavonian oak barrels, then some more in the bottle.
