This \u003cstrong\u003eblend of native grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, made up of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and other local varieties, is crafted using the \u003cstrong\u003eRipasso technique\u003c\/strong\u003e, which involves refermentation in contact with the Amarone pomace. This process gives the wine remarkable aromatic depth, releasing intense aromas of plum, cherry jam, morello cherry and delicate spicy nuances. On the palate, it is fleshy and well-structured, supported by \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a well-judged acidity, making it an ideal accompaniment for grilled red meats, braised beef, cured meats, cheeses and flavourful first courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes for this label are grown on the high \u003cstrong\u003eTorbe hills\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the municipality of Negrar, located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica. The vineyards stretch at an altitude between 300 and 420 metres, benefiting from a predominantly south and south-east exposure that ensures optimal ripening. The vines are trained using the \u003cstrong\u003eVeronese Pergola\u003c\/strong\u003e system and sink their roots into soils largely composed of \u003cstrong\u003eEocene marl\u003c\/strong\u003e. This unique soil composition is directly reflected in the glass, helping to shape a concentrated character that harmoniously blends structural richness with the natural freshness of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins in autumn with a careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvest\u003c\/strong\u003e aimed at selecting the best bunches. After crushing and destemming, the initial fermentation takes place in steel, where the must rests until February. This is followed by the crucial \u003cstrong\u003eRipasso\u003c\/strong\u003e stage on the pomace for about fifteen days, accompanied by the completion of malolactic fermentation. Maturation then continues for around nine months in \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, enriching the aromatic profile and smoothing the tannic texture, followed by a further period in steel. The entire process concludes with a \u003cstrong\u003enatural stabilisation\u003c\/strong\u003e, ensuring a pure, clear tasting experience that remains true to its territorial identity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced by Cantina Valpolicella Negrar, a historic winery active since 1933, \u003cstrong\u003eValpolicella Ripasso Torbae\u003c\/strong\u003e encapsulates the authentic soul of the Valpolicella Classica region. This enveloping red wine is born from a careful manual harvest and gains depth thanks to the \u003cstrong\u003eRipasso Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, which involves refermentation on the prized Amarone grape skins. The bouquet releases intense aromas of plum and cherry jam, enriched by elegant spicy notes. It offers a \u003cstrong\u003efleshy and velvety sip\u003c\/strong\u003e, perfect for the entire meal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Negrar - Domini Veneti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45928912879787,"sku":"59361","price":16.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/domini-veneti-valpolicella-ripasso-classico-superiore-torbae-2023_59361_1_29468024-a3ec-47f6-8cce-02102e5072b4.webp?v=1773797307","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/domini-veneti-valpolicella-ripasso-classico-superiore-torbae-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
