Speri Valpolicella Ripasso 2017
This wine is produced using the Ripasso technique, which is intentionally more restrictively applied in relation to the standard production method. The wine is obtained by going over again, once only, the premium Valpolicella Classico over the same quantity of Amarone marc. As a result, an authentic local wine is produced which elegantly exhibits a delightfully complex fruity aroma and spicy tones complemented with a good acidity and just the right alcohol content.

Colour

Clear ruby red.

Bouquet

Rich notes of violets and black sweet fruit emerge on the nose, perceptions of dark spices, liquorice root, cloves and a slight underbrush.

Flavour

An energetic sip of good correspondence and persistence with pleasantly bitter memories.

Pairing

Ideal with meat and cheese.
