Description

Our Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso is born from the refermentation of Valpolicella wine on the marcs of Amarone della Valpolicella. The contact between Valpolicella wine and Amarone della Valpolicella marcs - that are still rich in sugars, triggers a new fermentation. This second fermentation is named "ripasso" in Italian, meaning “re-pass,” or “go over again,” - a slow process that enriches the structure of the wine. The result is a structured wine, very balanced in taste and accompanied on the nose by slight hints of ripe and dried fruit that during aging evolve, increasing complexity

Brigaldara is the wine chest that contains the different souls of Valpolicella. Brigaldara is a common overview, an anthology of Valpolicella - enriched by different perspectives, stories, experiences, generations.

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.
