Production technique:
Provides a maceration of Valpolicella wine with fermented grapes of dried grapes previously used for the production of Recioto or Amarone. The technique of "Ripasso" consists in pouring, before barrel refinement, the Valpolicella base wine directly into the vats where the Amarone was previously pressed, allowing it to rest in contact with the newly pressed pomace for about 15-20 days. In this way, the wine receives from the dried pomace part of the aroma, that is actually from the Amarone.
