The grapes, after being harvested and crushed, immediately begin their fermentation in cement tanks. In January, the wine is transferred onto the Amarone pomace, which still retains some sugar, to start the second fermentation (the Ripasso technique). After fermentation, the wine matures in wood for 24 months and then in the bottle for another 6 months.
The Aromas recall red fruits like cherries, red plums, and ripe raspberries. Minty notes blend with hints of red oranges and spices such as cinnamon and cardamom. Structure: the acidity supports the alcohol, making the sip pleasantly fresh and light. The light touch of the Valpolicella Classico paired with the extra oomph that the Ripasso method brings makes this wine sing!
