Description
Still red Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore, 14.5% ABV, produced by Brigaldara in the Veneto region. Blend: 55% Corvina, 25% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella. 0.75L bottle, 2023 vintage. A wine born from the expert technique of ripasso, a tribute to the Veronese tradition. Aromas of red plum, marzipan, and exotic flowers, with a saline nuance that adds a touch of originality. Bright ruby in the glass. On the palate, it is juicy and well-rounded, with a strong acidity that preserves the flavors of red fruit and spices. It finishes with a nice purity of fruit and a good length.

A thousand years of history, one hundred and twenty hectares of property - forty-seven of which are planted with vines - distributed in three different areas of Verona: Valpolicella Classica, Valpantena and Eastern Valpolicella. A historic family, the Cesari, that has owned the villa and the surrounding land since 1928, who is committed to the enhancement of a rich and heterogeneous property. A team of young winemakers and agronomists dedicated to the study and customization of each intervention in the vineyard, to enhance the terroirs and microterroirs that make up the different souls of the wines that are here produced.
