Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore - Speri 2023

Speri's Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore is an illustrious example of the winemaking skill and passion that characterize the Speri winery, one of the most esteemed companies in Valpolicella. This wine is the result of a particular and traditional winemaking practice of the region, known as "ripasso". This method consists of fermenting the Valpolicella wine a second time on the pomace residues left from the production of Amarone. This process gives the wine greater complexity, structure and aromatic depth, elevating its character and aging potential.

The care in the selection of the grapes, mainly Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara, and the careful control of each phase of production, from fermentation to the re-evaluation, up to the refinement in wooden barrels, are witnesses of Speri's commitment to respecting tradition while ensuring a high quality product. The refinement in wood enriches the wine with delicate aromatic nuances, contributing to the overall harmony of the bouquet and structure.

Visually, Speri's Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore has an intense ruby ​​red color, capable of capturing attention and inviting tasting. On the nose, the wine expresses a rich and varied aromatic profile, with notes of cherries in alcohol, ripe fruit, sweet spices and a subtle hint of tobacco and chocolate, the result of the elegant passage in oak barrels.

In the mouth, the wine immediately reveals itself to be full and enveloping, with a well-balanced tannic structure that supports its aromatic richness. The acidity is well balanced, helping to keep the freshness alive and enhancing the flavors of red fruit and spices. The finish is long and persistent, with an aftertaste that echoes the notes perceived on the nose, leaving a complex and satisfying sensation.

Speri's Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore is perfectly capable of accompanying a vast range of dishes, from risottos to mature cheeses, from red meats to more structured dishes, offering a rich tasting experience deeply linked to the territory of origin.
