De-stemming and pressing of the grapes, then inoculation with cultured yeasts. Fermentation with maceration in steel for 10 days at 25°C, with daily pumpovers and delestage. Refermentation in January on the Amarone pomace; for every litre of Amarone, one litre of Ripasso is produced. Maturation for 18 months in barriques and 6 months in bottle.

Sensory profile: Dense rub red; complex aromas of blackberry, blackcurrant, dried violets, black pepper

Food Matching: Enjoy slightly cooled (16°C) with Braised meats, roasts, aged cheeses, Indian or Peranakan food. Great on its own as a sipping companion!
