2012 Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore, Veneto

This wine is closely connected to the greatest wine of Valpolicella: Amarone. After pressing the dried grapes from which Amarone is made, the Valpolicella wine is passed over the still warm marc of Amarone. A second alcoholic fermentation begins which increases the alcoholic content and the wine becomes richer in colour, bouquet and body. The 2012 Valpolicella Superiore Ripassa is simply beautiful. Freshly cut flowers, dark red berries and a gentle hint of spice caress the palate in a subtle, layered wine loaded with personality and class. This is a great introduction to the wines of Zenato. Best of all, this is a fabulous value wine.
