2021 Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore

Ripassa is the smaller sibling of the region's flagship wine, Amarone. This concept was conceived when high demand for Amarone caused prices to skyrocket. Amarone achieves its incredible concentration by allowing the grapes to dry. Ripassa uses part of this must and part freshly harvested "regular" Valpolicella grapes, which are then fermented together again, after which the wine matures in wooden barrels for another 18 to 24 months. The wine is a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta.

The Zenato Ripassa has a beautiful, deep ruby red color and an intense and elegant nose of plums, mocha, candied figs, sweet spices, and a hint of cocoa. Beautifully balanced and velvety smooth with a lovely structure. A stunningly delicious glass!
