Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso 2016

Ripasso has been in continuous production for over 150 years and is rightly extolled as the “grandfather” of ripasso-technique Veronese wines. With the classic ripasso process, grape must is left to rest for a few days in spring on freshly-drawn lees from Bertani’s Recioto Amarone wine. Launched in the late 1850s, Secco-Bertani was in all likelihood the first ripasso Valpolicella to earn a substantial following outside its native Italy.
