Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2023 DOC, Cantine do Ora, Veneto, Italy
Minimum order: 6 bottles. We sell in cases of 6 or 12 to ensure you get the best deal, best price and best service.
Ripasso Cantine di Ora is every thing you would want and expect from a 'Ripasso'. It is, as expected, half way between a standard Valpolicella and an Amarone.
Ripasso Cantine do Ora shows with a ruby red colour with raspberry & black cherry aromas on the nose. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a mouthful of fresh fruits, but remains soft and velvety throughout. It finishes with hints of chocolate & spices.
This vintage, 2023, has just arrived and scored 97 Points from Luca Maroni!!
And ... Ripasso and Ripassa are the same! It's interchangeable. Normally Ripasso, Ripassa is more than acceptable and closer to original Veneto dialect!
It's a process where (some of) the grapes used in the production of Amarone are used again during the second fermentation of this wine. It adds more intensity and richness (if done correctly!)
I asked AI for a short synopsis and got this: Ripasso is a red wine from Italy's Veneto region, made using the "Ripasso" method, which involves a second fermentation on the leftover skins of Amarone wine. This process gives the wine a richer flavor and fuller body than a standard Valpolicella.
