70% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella from Valpolicella Superiore (Veneto), Italy. Organic.

From a cooperative comprising 200 family vineyards in the Valpolicella Classico area in Veneto, Italy since 1936, the Valpolicella Ripasso (meaning "re-passed") is when the fermented juice of Valpolicella is re-passed with the unpressed skins and partially dried grapes from Amarone (Appassimento Method). This refermentation adds tannins, jammy texture, and complexity and creates a smooth and elegant wine with dark red fruits along with some tasty cinnamon! The grapes used are 70% Corvina, 15% Rondinella, and 15% Corvinone.

A lush and velvety wine loaded with plum and raisin flavors, well balanced and gluggable! This is such a great value when you’re looking for an Amarone-style wine at a fraction of the price.
