As every territory endowed with a marked
wine vocation, the
Valpolicella doesn’t only boasts the pure
Amarone quality, but also variety, some of them derived just from this last one.
The
Ripasso Valpolicella DOC, indeed, is an Amarone descendant, whose pomace are used during the
wine drying.
Zenato winery, authentic ambassador of the typical
Garda and Valpolicella wines, has made the
Ripasso one of its points of strength with the
Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore, appreciated both by the critic (95 points
James Suckling, Silver
Decanter Awards) and the public (recently among the most voted in
Vivino).
The colour is intense red, almost garnet, the main aromas are red fruit (cherry above all) with a light alcoholic note.
At the palate it takes out the best of the drying: full bodied, well defined tastes, sweet but not boring, funny on the contrary, to taste in a very direct way.
