This wine exemplifies the "ripasso" technique, which consists of refermenting the wine on Amarone pomace to enrich its flavor and structure.
Visually, the wine stands out for its deep garnet red color, with reflections that intensify with aging. On the nose, the bouquet is rich and complex, offering intense aromas of cherry in alcohol, dried plum and spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, all integrated with nuances of tobacco and leather, inherited from contact with the Amarone skins.
In the mouth, Secondo Marco's Valpolicella Ripasso is powerful but balanced. The structure is robust, characterized by soft and well-integrated tannins that blend harmoniously with lively acidity. The palate is enveloped in flavors of ripe fruit and spicy notes, which lead to a long and persistent finish, with a slightly bitter aftertaste which is typical of wines in this category.
This wine is particularly suitable for accompanying intense and structured dishes, such as braised meats, meat and game stews, as well as aged cheeses and dishes rich in umami. The Jeroboam format makes it ideal for celebrations and special occasions, ensuring that the wine retains its freshness and liveliness even after opening.
The wooden case presentation not only protects the wine, but adds a touch of elegance and prestige, making it a perfect gift for wine enthusiasts or an important addition to any collection. With its aging potential, Secondo Marco's Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC Ripasso can be enjoyed now or stored to be further enriched in the coming years.
