Description
In a nutshell:
An Italian classic that's mid-way between the lightness of Valpolicella and the richness of Amarone.
The lowdown:
Ripasso wines are traditionally made by re-fermenting the wine on the skins of grapes used for Amarone. The result is a bright, vibrant style with lts of lively Valpolicella fruit up front, with underlying layers of nuts, raisins and nougat. The addition of unpressed Amarone skins to the young wine, adds depth, flavour and a little tannin and produces a voluptuous wine with a velvety texture and rich raisined style.
When to drink:
It's a comfort wine and will also go well with duck, or a meat ragu.
