2012 Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore - Margone

60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella & 10% Molinara

Vinified using the traditional skin fermentation technique followed by a 10-15 day maceration. After fermentation, the unpressed Amarone skins are added to the Valpolicella wine according to the traditional "ripasso" technique. The wine is then aged in oak barrels for 10-12 months depending upon the vintage followed by a short stay in stainless steel vats before bottling.

Deep ruby red colour. The bouquet is vinous and full-bodied with hints of black cherry and well-ripened fruit. It is well rounded, velvety, full-bodied and long-lingering on the palate. Best enjoyed at 17-19ºC. Drink 2013-2017
