Rubinelli Vajol Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 2017
Tasting notes
Bright red, deep ruby. Intense bouquet with notes of black cherry, red fruits, blueberry, spices and rhubarb. This is a full and rounded wine, with great structure. The alcohol content is balanced with velvety tannins and guarantees excellent drinkability with tertiary and balsamic notes.
This elegant and complex Valpolicella continues the family tradition of the Ripasso method, used since the 1850s. The style is a consistent expression of the indigenous Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes and terroir of the area. The Ripasso method is delicately achieved conducting a secondary extended maceration and fermentation over the Amarone grape skins, giving the wine higher complexity, bolder and softer body, and intense color. It is then aged for two years in big oak barrels.
