Zenato Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Ripassa 2016
This wine is closely connected to the greatest wine of Valpolicella: Amarone. After pressing the dried grapes from which Amarone is made, the Valpolicella wine is passed over the still warm marc of Amarone. A second alcoholic fermentation begins which increases the alcoholic content and the wine becomes richer in colour, bouquet.

Colour

Compact and clear ruby.

Bouquet

Olfactory picture dominated by variegated spicy sensations, proposes tones of cinnamon, coffee powder, cedar wood and Kentucky tobacco, followed by notes of currant jam, cocoa and clean balsamic gusts in support.

Flavour

Balanced and agile, with freshness and flavor in precise synergy.

Pairing

Excellent companion to game dishes, grilled meat and roasts, salami and aged cheeses.
