La Giaretta Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore 2016
The Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore is a remarkable expression of the Veneto region, showcasing the traditional Ripasso technique, where Valpolicella Classico wine undergoes a second fermentation on the Amarone grape marc. This method enriches the wine with greater body, depth, and aromatic complexity, producing a wine that is both robust and elegant.
In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red color, immediately hinting at the richness and concentration within.
