Zenato Ripassa della Valpolicella 2020

Zenato Ripassa della Valpolicella Superiore

A beautiful, deep ruby ​​red color and an intense and elegant nose of plums, mocha, candied figs, sweet spices and a touch of cocoa. Beautiful balance and velvety soft with a beautiful structure.

The Ripassa is the little brother of the region's flagship, the Amarone. This concept was invented when the prices of this wine skyrocketed due to the high demand for Amarone. Amarone gets its enormous concentration by allowing the grapes to dry. For Ripassa, part of this must and part of freshly harvested 'normal' Valpolicella are used, this is then fermented again together, after which the wine continues to mature in wooden barrels for another 18 to 24 months. The wine is a blend of approximately 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 5% Oseleta.

Delicious with game dishes, grilled and roasted meat, salami and mature cheeses.
