Description

Valpolicella Ripasso Castelforte comes from vineyards located on the hills north of Verona.

It is obtained from the union of the autochthonous Corvina Veronese, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes, selected for their sugar content. The vinification takes advantage of the innovative Ganimede fermentation system which allows continuous mixing with the marc. In the colder months of the year the base wine is poured on the Amarone pomace according to the ancient "ripasso" technique. Aging takes place between steel and oak barrels for 12 months.

Ruby red wine, the nose expresses complex aromas of cherry and red fruits, accompanied by spicy notes. The taste is dry and full-bodied, pleasantly soft.

To be paired with roasts and grilled red meats, it is an excellent escort for a platter of aged cheeses.
