Description:

In the glass, it displays a ruby ​​red color tending towards garnet with aging. The nose is intense, with harmoniously integrated aromas of ripe fruit and berries. The palate is persistent with hints of vanilla, ripe cherry, tobacco, and spice, offering a full and structured body. The tannins are well-integrated and contribute to an optimal balance between alcohol, acidity, and structure. Perfect with grilled red meat, braised meat, game, Amarone risotto, and aged cheeses such as Gorgonzola and Parmigiano-Reggiano.

Made from the same vineyards as Amarone in Valgatara, this Ripasso represents the ancient Veronese tradition of "ripassare" the wine over the still-warm Amarone pomace. The Aldrighetti family, with a centuries-old tradition in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica area, combines respect for ancient techniques with modern technology, always prioritizing quality over quantity. Vinification involves fermentation in stainless steel for 10-12 days, followed by secondary fermentation on the Amarone pomace, which is rich in residual sugars. Aged in oak barrels for 2-3 years and at least 6 months in bottle.
