Details

Powerful and complex aromas of morello cherry, almond, cinammon and wood smoke give an attractive first impression.

The palate unveils an array of heady red fruit, musk, spices and vanilla on the palate. A generous wine - as ripasso should be.

Made by the Ripasso (literally 'repassed') method, which involves adding the unpressed skins from the dried grapes which were used to make an Amarone to a young Valpolicella wine. This helps to add extra flavour and alcohol to the wine (causing it to start re-fermenting) and gradually the luscious flavours of Amarone are imparted to the wine. After this the wine is aged for 16 months in French and American oak casks along with some small barriques.

Try with chicken cordon bleu, calf's liver or a mushroom pasta dish.
