Tasting note

Sourced from the historic heart of the Valpolicella region, hence 'Classico,' this offers a nose of herbs and cherry with coffee and spice undertones. Savoury, with nice replays and sweet tannins, this is a great option for pairing with lamb stews, beef stews or mature cheeses. (Vintages panel, Oct. 2015)

The Ripasso Acinatico is obtained from the Valpolicella Classico way via re-fermentation and a second maceration over grape skins that are still mildly sweet of Amorone and Recioto, thereby enriching the body and color of the wine. Intense yet subtle nose of spices and vanilla. The warm, full-bodied palate with traces of mature, dried fruits, spices and tobacco is reminiscent of an Amarone.
