Description

This wine is produced with Corvina 40%, Corvinone 40%, Rondinella 20%. Fumanelli Valpolicella Classico Superior Ripasso is a full-bodied wine that offers superb value, especially for lovers of Amarone. The process for making Ripasso simply involves re-fermenting and macerating Amarone pomace (the solid remains of the grapes after pressing) with fresh Valpolicella. In essence, the wine maker is reusing (Ripasso meaning repassed) the leftovers to add colour, flavour, structure and alcohol to the Valpolicella. The result is a wine with all the freshness and joy of Valpolicella but with an added Amarone style punch. It has lovely softness and offers superb value with dark cherry fruit and lovely spice notes from the 12 months in French oak.
