Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC - Zonin

In the glass, the Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore from Zonin offers a dense ruby red color. In the glass, this red wine from Zonin shows aromas of black cherries, morello cherries, plums and prunes, complemented by other fruity nuances. The Zonin Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is wonderfully dry. This red wine is never coarse or austere, as you would expect from a wine in the upper price range. On the palate, this powerful red wine is characterized by an incredibly dense texture. The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is impressively fresh and lively on the palate thanks to its present fruit acidity. On the finish, this wine from the Veneto wine-growing region, which ages well, finally impresses with its considerable length. There are again hints of plum and damson.

Vinification of the Zonin Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore

The basis for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore cuvée from Zonin are Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella grapes. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly transported to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Once fermentation is complete, the powerful Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is aged for 18 months in Slavonian oak barrels. The ageing in wooden barrels is followed by extensive bottle ageing, which makes this red wine even more complex. Once the wine is finished, the Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is carefully harmonized.
