Description
The Valpolicella Ripasso by Bertani originates from vineyards located on the hills of Valpantena and Valpolicella Classica.
It is produced mainly with Corvina Veronese grapes along with Corvinone and Rondinella grapes, which are hand-picked and carefully selected at the end of September. The first fermentation occurs in special wide and low steel tanks that allow greater contact between the skins and the must, at a controlled temperature of 20-22°C for 2 weeks. The second fermentation, known as ripasso, takes place on the Amarone skins, after which the wine ages in Veronese barrels of French oak for 9 months.
The Valpolicella Ripasso by Bertani displays an intense purple-red color with violet reflections. The nose opens with intense aromas of wild blackberry, blackcurrant, and ripe cherry. On the palate, it is full and harmonious, velvety, with a pleasantly lively and savory aftertaste.
Perfect for accompanying first courses, specifically risotto with porcini mushrooms, this red wine is ideal to pair with grilled meats, roasts, and medium-aged cheeses.
