Description
Still red Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC, 14% ABV, produced by Monte dei Ragni. Blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, 2021 vintage. A wine that embodies the tradition of ripasso, with a distinctive aroma evoking black cherry, dried violets, undergrowth, humus, mushroom nuances, nutmeg, and tanned leather. Soft and rounded on the palate, with an unexpected tartar verve and a decisive savory kick, well-polished tannins, and a long finish rich in fruity aftertaste. Ideal with venison stew.

One of the main architects of the company was Ragno Santo, who, as early as the beginning of the 20th century, realised the importance of grapes for this land and increasingly directed the company towards this cultivation. Continuing to evolve, in the first half of the same century it expanded with land in the Mazzurega locality, a little further north, immediately planted with vines, cherry and olive trees, and there are still traces of those improvements today.
An old road between two stone walls leads to the farm in Marega, a historic district dating back to 1450. Founded as a garrison for the nearby Villa della Torre, it then became a farm, remaining so to this day.
The cultivation of vines and their transformation into wine, giving this foothill area its best, has very ancient origins here. Read more
