Notes:

Valpolicella Classico Superiore Acinatico Ripasso is a product deserving a particular attention, since it is obtained through a technique called "ripasso": the grapes are restrained on the marcs of Amarone, thus acquiring its same structure, bouquet and pleasantness. This process makes this wine similar to the great international red wines. Once Amarone is extracted from the grapes, Valpolicella is restrained on its virgin marcs for at least 15 days: in this period the wine completes its fermentation and reaches the level of alcohol, structure, ashes, tannic substances and bouquet that are typical of a refined wine such as Amarone. Properly preserved at a steady temperature of 14°-15°C, laid down, in the dark, this wine can keep its characteristics for 10- 15 years. Colour: intense ruby red. Bouquet: intense, delicate and aethereal with scent of spices and vanilla. Flavour: warm, full-bodied with scent of fruit that reminds of Amarone.

Notes:

Valpolicella Classico is the traditional red wine to be drunk when still new, fresh, fruity and medium body. This wine is supposed to be the Rhaetian wine loved by the emperor Augustus, but it surely was the wine preferred by king Theodoric, who considered it one of the best in Italy. Nevertheless the best description of it is given by Hemingway: in one of his novels he talks about Valpolicella with great affection: it is dry, red and friendly like the house of a brother. This wine is appreciated when still new, but properly preserved at a steady temperature of 14°-16°C it can keep its characteristics for 2-3 years. Colour: ruby red with violet shades. Bouquet: intense scent of cherries and raspberries. Flavour: very delicate, salted and sapid.

Notes:

A red, fruity, medium bodied wine which should be drunk young. This is the perfect accompaniment to Italian “antipasti”, soups, pasta dishes, white and red meats and to the wide variety of dishes that the Mediterranean has to offer. Serve at 14°-16°C and open the bottle a few minutes before drinking.
