Produced by the renowned Cesari winery, the Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore "Mara" stands out for its complexity and structure, making it an exceptional wine. This regal red originates from the Veneto region, a viticultural area famous for producing high-quality wines.

The Valpolicella Ripasso "Mara" is made using a unique method called "ripasso." In this technique, the young wine is passed over the lees still saturated with sugars from the fermentation of Amarone. This practice enhances the wine's aromatic depth, body, and aging potential. The result is a wine that combines the freshness and liveliness of Valpolicella with the richness and complexity of Amarone.

Visually, Mara presents an intense ruby red color that tends towards garnet with aging. On the nose, it offers an intriguing and varied bouquet with notes of ripe red fruits, sweet spices, vanilla, and a slight hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is rich and layered, with perfect harmony between acidity and tannins. Flavors of cherry, plum, and a subtle note of chocolate meld into a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

This wine is ideal to pair with robust dishes such as grilled red meats, roasts, stews, and aged cheeses. Alternatively, it can be enjoyed on its own as a meditation wine.

Seize the opportunity to offer your customers this masterpiece from Cesari, which is an emblematic example of Veneto winemaking quality and the ripasso technique. The Mara Ripasso DOC Superiore is a valuable addition to any wine collection, capable of providing an unforgettable tasting experience.
