Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC - Ripasso - Zenato 2021

The Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC by Zenato is a refined example of how tradition and innovation can merge to create a wine of exceptional quality. Produced in the renowned Veneto region, this wine is the result of a unique winemaking method called "Ripasso". This technique involves "repassing" the young wine over the pomace of Amarone, giving the Valpolicella increased intensity and complexity.

The color presents a deep ruby red, hints that foretell the richness found on the palate. On the nose, the Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore evokes intensely fruity notes of cherry and plum, along with spicy nuances and a light touch of vanilla, the result of aging in wood. The structure of this wine is remarkably balanced: the acidity and well-integrated tannins provide a robust yet elegant sip.

On the palate, it expresses enticing shades of ripe red fruit enriched with hints of chocolate and coffee, thanks to contact with the Amarone skins. The long aromatic persistence and taste complexity make it an ideal companion for rich dishes such as meat stews, roasts, and aged cheeses.

Zenato, the producing winery, is known for its passion and dedication in creating wines that are a true tribute to the territory of origin. With the Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC, they have created a wine that not only demonstrates great winemaking skill but also captures the essence of the Valpolicella grape with a touch of uniqueness and sophistication.
