Description

Zenato's Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is one of the Venetian reds par excellence, known all over the world for the particular winemaking technique that brings it very close to that dense complexity of its older brother Amarone.

It consists of the traditional blend of Corvina, present at 85%, Rondinella, in the 10% share and Oseleta, at 5%. At the end of the normal vinification in steel, Valpolicella Ripasso stops on the pomace coming from Amarone for a period of about a week. It matures, subsequently, for 18 months in tonneaux and for 6 months in bottle.

At sight it is dark ruby red, dense. The aromatic range that opens to the nose involves strawberry, cherry, red fruit and a trail of dried fruit. In the mouth, he walks in a velvety way and asserts himself with the solidity of a full and soft structure.

Excellent with red meats and aged cheeses. Try it with a grilled sirloin of beef on a cream of zola and walnuts.
