After the first fermentation, this wine – a juicy blend of Corvinone, Corvina and Rondinella – is then co-fermented with grape skins that are used in the production of Amarone for 15 days. During this second stage of fermentation, dried grapes are added to give more body and complexity to this unique wine. After this the wine is left to mature in larger oak casks for 16-24 months. Stylistically Ripasso is a “baby Amarone” and sits between Valpolicella & Amarone. It shares the lightness and freshness of Valpolicella but certainly has some of the structure and complexity of an Amarone. Being a 2018 this wine is ready to drink now. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature..
