Description
Following the experience where we obtained a great Bosan amarone, 2001 marked the year when this superior Ripasso Valpolicella arrived. It is produced with the renowned "Ripasso" method, which consists of keeping the Valpolicella wine in contact with the skins of the Amarone della Valpolicella Bosan for several weeks, thus gaining greater body and character. This traditional technique, historically tied to Valpolicella, makes it possible to reinforce and strengthen a wine, defining it in a unique and unrepeatable way. At the end of this "ripasso” period, the drawing off provided us with a product full of colour, body, aromas and tannins. After malolactic fermentation, subsequent maturing in casks and French oak barrels and long ageing in bottles.

| Wine making | The “Ripasso” technique has been historically used in Valpolicella, and can be summarised as the passage of vines of the same vintage or previous vintages on the fermented marc of grapes dried to produce amarone. Its main purpose is to reinforce and strengthen the Valpolicella taking what remains in the noble Bosan amarone marcs. This process lasts around 15 days, the Valpolicella which has undergone this process acquires colour, structure, aromas and tannins and around 1 to 1.5 percentage points in alcohol content compared to the original wine. |
