Azienda Agricola La Giaretta Valpolicella Ripasso D.O.C. Classico Superiore 2020 Magnum, 1,50 L

Ripasso, deriving from the Italian "repeated passage," involves blending the young wine with the Amarone pomace for a second fermentation, enriching it with a deeper colour, robust structure, and elevated alcohol content.

La Giaretta consistently delivers exceptional quality, and their Ripasso exemplifies this standard. While each vintage impresses, the 2020 edition stands out, showcasing a remarkable depth of character.

In the glass, it presents a captivating ruby-red hue, unveiling typical aromas of dried raisins and subtle herbal spices.

On the palate, it mirrors the essence of Amarone, albeit with a slightly softer approach. Layers of red berries and hints of raisins, alongside nuances of coffee and tobacco, create a harmonious symphony. A vibrant acidity uplifts the wine, rendering it remarkably approachable and easy to savour. This Ripasso offers sheer delight, providing exceptional value and serving as a perfect gateway to the world of Amarone wines.

In Verona, Ripasso graces tables across the city, offering the essence of Amarone without its full impact and alcohol content. It pairs exceptionally well with various steak dishes, making it a versatile and delightful choice for any dining occasion.
