Production method

The practice of Ripasso involves the introduction, before aging in the barrel, of the basic Valpolicella wine directly into the vats in which the Amarone was previously pressed. This wine is left to rest in contact with the freshly pressed pomace for a period of approximately 15-20 days. Aging for 11 months in Slavonian oak barrels. This process attenuates the roughness of the wine, enhancing all its organoleptic qualities.
