Zenato Ripasso Valpolicella Magnum 2017 1.5L

Magnum Bottle – 1.5L

Immediately following the fermentation of the dried Amarone grapes, the best Valpolicella “repasses” on the Amarone marc, commencing a second brief fermentation; this raises the alcohol content and yields a product richer in color, extracts, and smells.

It is aged in French oak tonneaux for 18/20 months before being rested in the bottle for 6 months. This method yields a refined and concentrated wine that is incredibly delicate and silky, with powerful aromas of tiny red fruits.

On the palate, Ripassa has fruity notes and very fine tannins, with a hint of chocolate and spices. It is one of the most important wines in Zenato’s oenological evolution. Grape varietal: Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, Corvinone.
