The Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Magnum from Cantina Clementi embodies the essence of Veneto's winemaking art, condensed into a generously sized bottle that promises to be the star of any table. The "Ripasso" procedure, unique to this region, involves a second fermentation of the wine on Amarone pomace, imparting extraordinary complexity and unmatched aromatic richness to this wine.
In terms of color, Clementi's Valpolicella Ripasso presents a deep ruby red that hints at its intense and persistent aromas. On the nose, notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherry and plum, are revealed, enriched by spicy nuances of vanilla and black pepper, thanks to a slight passage in wooden barrels that refines the bouquet without overpowering it.
On the palate, the wine is truly robust and structured, yet maintains a freshness that invites the next sip. The balance between acidity and tannins is very well managed, resulting in a long and pleasantly bitter finish, typical of Ripasso. The fruity notes blend perfectly with the spicy ones, creating a complex yet harmonious tasting experience.
This Magnum of Valpolicella Ripasso is ideal for accompanying intense meat dishes, such as braised or stewed meats, but it can also be a magnificent companion for an evening of aged cheeses and cured meats. It is recommended to serve it at a temperature of 18°C to enhance all its qualities.
A wine that celebrates the winemaking tradition of Valpolicella, perfect for any collector or lover of robust and complex wines, promising to evolve splendidly even after several years of aging.

Today management has passed to the second generation.
