Vinification of the Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC by Bottega

The grapes for this excellent wine come from the best locations in the Valpolicella region. The blend primarily includes Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, which form the basis for the wine's character. After harvesting, the grapes are carefully selected and destemmed. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit aromas.

The special charm of the Ripasso process comes into play when the freshly fermented wines are blended with the pomace from the Amarone production. This technique lends additional aroma and complex notes to the wine. After fermentation, the wine ages for several months in large wooden barrels, improving its structure and adding delicate vanilla notes.

The overall process makes the Ripasso della Valpolicella DOC a unique experience that perfectly reflects the depth and character of this Italian wine region.
