Description
The 2020 La Casetta still red Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore from Domini Veneti, a wine that embodies the tradition of Veneto. Made with 65% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, and 15% Corvinone, this Ripasso DOC offers a complex and satisfying taste experience. The grapes, grown on the hills of the Classico zone, are hand-harvested in the first ten days of October. Malolactic fermentation is complete, and the wine ages for 24 months in barrels. On the nose, it offers a combination of red fruits, vinous and spicy. On the palate, it is well-balanced, full-bodied, and velvety with balanced tannins. Ideal with game, grilled meats, braised meats, and aged cheeses.

The spirit is the same as that of the visionary cooperative founded in 1933 by the seven businessmen from Verona, just as the very same principles guide our work on a daily basis today and inspire every new project: initiative, reciprocity and collaboration.
Generations that work side by side: this is the strength of Cantina Valpolicella Negrar. It is the same strength that has enabled us to stride through history and become the benchmark producer when it comes to Amarone, Ripasso and the technique of Appassimento.
Energy and creativity on the one hand; on the other, the wisdom that comes from the experience of many vintages, leading to a generational renewal that takes place while we work together. Read more
