This process not only intensifies the wine's flavor profile, but adds layers of complexity and structure to the palate.
Visually, the wine has an intense and deep ruby red color, with garnet nuances that evolve with aging. On the nose, a harmony of aromas of ripe red fruits emerges, such as cherries and plums, coupled with intriguing notes of spices, leather and a hint of vanilla, the result of aging in wood.
In the mouth, Secondo Marco's Valpolicella Ripasso offers a rich and enveloping structure. The tannins are robust, but soft and well integrated, supported by a lively acidity that gives freshness to the sip. The presence of ripe fruit blends with nuances of chocolate and coffee, leading to a long and persistent finish that leaves a spicy and slightly bitter aftertaste, typical of the review.
This wine pairs perfectly with tasty dishes, such as braised meats, stews and grilled red meats, as well as with mature cheeses and mushroom dishes. Its richness also makes it an excellent companion for winter evenings or to accompany post-dinner conversations.
The Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Ripasso by Secondo Marco is a wine that continues to improve with age, developing greater softness and harmony in its flavors and aromas. Its complexity and ability to evolve make it a wine appreciated by both connoisseurs and those approaching Ripasso wines for the first time.
