The Casalforte Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC, produced by the acclaimed Riondo winery, represents an excellent choice for fans of complex and structured red wines. This wine is characterized by the "ripasso" technique, a traditional method that involves a second fermentation on Amarone pomace, giving it remarkable depth of taste and aromatic intensity.

Visually, the Casalforte Ripasso has a deep ruby red color, which tends towards garnet as it ages. On the nose, it offers a rich and intriguing bouquet with notes of ripe red fruits such as cherries and plums, complemented by hints of spices, vanilla, and tobacco, derived from aging in wooden barrels.

On the palate, its structure is robust yet harmonious with a perfect balance between acidity and well-integrated tannins. The flavor is rich in ripe red fruit followed by a persistent aftertaste that brings back the spices and a light touch of bitterness that tempts another sip.

Ideal for pairing with rich dishes such as stews, grilled red meats, and aged cheeses, this Ripasso della Valpolicella stands out for its ability to evolve well over time, improving further if stored in a suitable cellar.

To have the best tasting experience, it is recommended to serve the Casalforte Ripasso at a temperature of 16-18°C, after allowing it to decant for at least an hour. This will enable the wine to oxygenate adequately, releasing all its complex aromas and flavors. With its richness and distinctive character, the Casalforte Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC by Riondo promises to satisfy even the most demanding palates.
