Ripasso wine,in the middle between Valpolicella and Amarone
Wine made with the “ripasso” method: the Valpolicella wine had a second fermentation on the fermentated Amarone pomace. So step by step:
- in september/october we fermetate the grapes for Valpolicella. Later the fermentation we store the wine in a steel tank,
- in january we fermentate the grapes for Amarone and Recioto,
- when this fermentation has finished we refill the Amarone wine from the tank and we left some Amarone and the skins in the tank,
- this tank is so filled with the Valpolicella and the wine has a second fermentation in touch with the Amarone grapes.
- tent. It goes well with pasta dishes, to grilled meat, roasts and game.

E’ un piccolo Amarone: da abbinare con carni rosse, selvaggine o formaggi stagionati!
