Regolo

Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore

Details

Area of production

Vineyards north-west of Verona, an area of great vocation that extends around the towns of Marano di Valpolicella, San Pietro in Cariano and Negrar di Valpolicella. Here the vines grow on clayey- calcareous soils between 170 and 250 meters above sea level, mostly with the Veronese Pergola training system.

Vinification

Careful grapes selection, pressing and destemming followed by temperature-controlled fermentation for about 8-10 days, give the starting point of this wine. The structure and longevity that characterize it are the result of the traditional “ripasso” technique during which the wine is “re- passed” on the Amarone pomace. During this second fermentation the wine receives part of the characteristics that are typical of Amarone. After the malolactic fermentation, an aging period of about 2 years begins in medium and large barrels. After bottling, the wine ages for at least 6 months in the bottle.

Tasting notes

Bright garnet red wine, intense and persistent bouquet, dry and velvety flavour with hints of cherry and small red fruits. Rich body, slightly tannic and very harmonious.

Food pairings

Perfect match with savoury pasta, game, roasted meats and aged cheese.
