2022 Arduini Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore

Ripassa is the little brother of the region's flagship, Amarone. This concept was conceived when the prices of Amarone skyrocketed due to the high demand for Amarone. Amarone gets its enormous concentration by drying the grapes. For Ripassa, men use a portion of this most and a portion of freshly harvested 'regular' Valpolicella, which men then ferment together again, allowing the wine to mature for another 18 to 24 months in wooden barrels. The wine is a blend of Corvina (60%), Corvinone (20%), Rondinella (20%)

Arduini Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a beautiful, deep ruby red color and an intense and elegant nose of plums, mocha, candied figs, sweet consumed and a cocoa. Beautiful balance and velvety soft with a beautiful structure. A beautiful delicious glass!
