Antolini Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2021
"Ripasso" literally means "re-passed" or "passed again" and this wine is the bridge between the young Valpolicella and the adult Amarone and Recioto. It's made with the year's wine which is fermented a second time with the marcs (leftover skins etc) of the dried Amarone and Recioto grapes, for 5/7 days. The wine goes well with rich first courses, red meats and with cheeses that aren't too mature.

Colour

Vibrant, ruby red.

Bouquet

A complex aroma of red fruits, such as raspberry, cherry and morello cherry evolves into a spicier bouquet of vanilla and cloves.

Flavour

A crisp, tannin flavour coats the palate in a gentle warmth leaving a pleasant, dry after taste.

Pairing

Rich first courses, red meats and slightly mature cheese. Perfect with lasagna.
