Tasting note

Ripasso wines are fondly referred to as 'baby Amarone' by some. Zenato's baby is bigger and richer than most, with intense flavours of blackberry jam, cocoa, blueberries and raisin. Pair it with risotto with gorgonzola, or grilled sausages and tomatoes.

After Amarone is finished fermenting, the pomace of the dried grapes used to produce it is joined with the Valpolicella . Second fermentation raises the alcohol and gives the wine deeper colour, richer body and aromas. Deep ruby red, it offers rich, elegant, lingering scents; it is crisp and dry in the mouth, well structured, with a lovely, velvety texture. Can be cellared several years. Serving Suggestions Ideal with all game, roasts, and grilled/barbecued dishes
