Deeply rooted in the winemaking tradition of Verona, Tenuta Sant'Anna's Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC is a shining example of how the ancient "ripasso" method can enrich the structure and aroma of a wine. Produced mainly from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, this wine undergoes a second fermentation using the pomace left over from the production of the Amarone from the same winery.

On the nose, Tenuta Sant'Anna's Ripasso della Valpolicella offers a complex and layered bouquet: ripe forest fruits like cherries and blackberries blend with hints of sweet spices and a subtle note of tobacco. On the palate, this wine is rich and velvety, with an impeccable balance between acidity and soft tannins that promise an excellent tasting experience and aging potential.

The ripasso technique, which involves the wine's contact with the skins used for Amarone, imparts a distinctive character to the Ripasso, enhancing its concentration and aromatic complexity, expressed through persistent notes of dried fruits and cocoa in the finish.

Recommended pairings for this Ripasso include hearty dishes such as meat stews, roasts, and aged cheeses. Its versatility also makes it an ideal companion for convivial moments, such as a dinner with friends or a special evening.

With a recommended aging of several years, Tenuta Sant'Anna's Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC will further improve, developing additional nuances and depth that will continue to delight wine lovers. A true gem from Tenuta Sant'Anna that proudly represents the excellence and tradition of Valpolicella.
