Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore
Immediately after the fermentation of the Amarone raisins, the best selection of Valpolicella 'ripassa' on the Amarone marc, starting the second short fermentation; in this
way the alcohol content increases and a product richer in colour, extracts and aromas is obtained.
After ageing in French oak tonneaux for 18/20 months, it is then left to rest in the bottle for 6 months.
The result of this process is a refined and concentrated wine, extremely soft and velvety, with intense aromas of small red fruits.
Ripassa offers fruity scents and fine tannins on the palate, with an aura of chocolate and spices. It represents one of the most significant wines in Zenato's oenological
evolution.
Grape varieties: 85% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, 5% Corvinone.
Geographical location and characteristics of the vineyard: hilly area of Valpolicella, south-eastern and south-western exposure.
Average altitude of the land: 250-300 metres above sea level.
Soil type: predominantly cretaceous, calcareous
Training system and planting density: guyot, with about 5,000 vines per hectare.
Average age of vines: 10/15 years old
Number of buds: 8/10 per plant
Yield per hectare: 100 quintals
Harvest time and method: first and second ten days of October. Manual harvesting.
Vinification: The grapes are destemmed and macerated in stainless steel fermenters for 10-12 days. After alcoholic fermentation, the new wine is separated from the skins
by means of a soft press and stored in steel tanks until January, when the dried grapes are pressed to produce Amarone. At this point, the Valpolicella is 'repassed' on the
Amarone marc with a 7-8 day period at a temperature of 25-28°C. This is followed by 18 months of refinement in tonneaux and a few months of bottle ageing in temperature-
controlled environments.
Colour: deep ruby red.
Bouquet: intense, fine and persistent, with hints of black cherry and plum.
Taste: harmonious and velvety, with good structure.
Serving temperature: 18°C
Food pairings: an excellent companion to game dishes, grilled meats and roasts, cured meats and mature cheeses.
