Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC 2023 Cecilia Beretta

The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore by Cecilia Beretta, a brand of the Pasqua winery, is an elegant and structured red wine, made from the finest grapes grown in the clay-limestone soils of Valpantena. This denomination best expresses the tradition of Ripasso, a method that gives the wine greater complexity and aromatic depth, enhancing the characteristics of the territory.

The vinification involves an initial fermentation with skin maceration for 15 days at controlled temperature. After a resting period in steel, the wine undergoes re-fermentation on the Amarone grape pomace, enriching it with body and intense aromas. Subsequently, it matures for 12 months in barrique, and then refines in the bottle, ensuring balance and smoothness.

With an intense red color, it releases enveloping aromas of sour cherry, blueberry, and currant, accompanied by nuances of licorice and toasted hints. On the palate, it is rich and warm, with soft tannins and a pleasant persistence, providing a harmonious and velvety finish.

This Valpolicella Ripasso is the ideal companion for red meats, roasts, and aged cheeses, enhancing every bite with its complexity and structure.
