RIPASSO: WINE OF CHARACTER AND EXPERIENCE.
The secret of his character is the contact with the Amarone della Valpolicella pomace for few weeks. In this way the wine receive from the dried pomace part of the aroma and body of Amarone.
The “Ripasso” technique has a history of use in Valpolicella, and
consists in keeping the wines of the same year’s vintage or that of
previous years on fermented dregs of the dried grapes used to
produce Amarone.
Essentially, this serves to strengthen the Valpolicella, which is
made from a blend of grapes consisting of about 70-75% Corvina
Veronese, 20% Rondinella and 5% Negrara/Rossignola, and make
it more robust, drawing what is left from these noble dregs. This
process lasts 15/18 days and the Valpolicella wine that has thus
been “made over” acquires color, structure, fragrance and tannins,
as well as about 1% more in alcoholic level than the original wine.
After it is finally racked off in February and March and has
undergone its malolactic fermentation, the wine starts the aging
period according to the tradition, in order to achieve balance and
rotundity, keeping its original fruitfulness.
Ageing is completed by resting in bottles.
