Zenato Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Ripassa 2019
From the dried grapes used for the production of Amarone, the best selection of Valpolicella is refermented immediately after fermentation to begin the second fermentation that enriches the alcohol content, colour, extracts and aromatic bouquet. Ripassa represents one of the most significant wines in the company's oenological evolution.

Colour

Clear, deep ruby.

Bouquet

An olfactory framework dominated by varied spicy sensations, offering tones of cinnamon, coffee powder, cedar wood and Kentucky tobacco, followed by notes of blackcurrant jam, cocoa and clear balsamic undertones.

Flavour

Balanced, with perfect integration between freshness and tastiness.

Pairing

It pairs well with game dishes, grilled meat and roasts, cured meats and aged cheeses.

At this point, the Valpolicella is refermented on the Amarone marc with a 7/8 day soak at a temperature of 25°C - 28 °C.
