Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Valpantena 2020 – Bertani

The particular softness and sweeter notes of Bertani's Ripasso are the result of a skilful blend of the selection of grapes from Valpantena and the Classica area. In fact, from the first comes the softness and roundness, characteristics that flow into delicate notes of chocolate, from the second the more fruity notes such as cherry, morello cherry, currant. Bertani's Valpolicella Ripasso DOC is a great red that is traditionally left to ferment after the winter together with the Amarone skins in order to increase its structure and complexity. An ancient, unique practice, followed by a slow aging in cask of just under 12 months, a period necessary to find that harmony and balance that characterize the best Ripasso.
