The Ripasso della Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC - Antolini is a wine that elegantly tells the story of the renowned terroir of Valpolicella Classica, an area famous for its picturesque hilly landscapes between Verona and Lake Garda.

Made mainly with Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, this wine refines its character through the ripasso technique, which involves a second fermentation on the Amarone grape skins. This process enhances structure, color, and aroma, giving the wine notes of ripe red fruits, light spices, and hints of cherry liqueur. On the palate, it is soft yet vibrant, with enveloping tannins and a persistent, harmonious finish.

Perfectly paired with red meats, game, and aged cheeses, the Ripasso della Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC - Antolini expresses Venetian tradition with balance and personality. An ideal choice for those who love structured yet refined wines, capable of accompanying convivial moments with warmth and depth.
