Marinella Camerani is on a mission to create authentic wines that are strongly connected to the local terroir. Manipulation and intervention are reduced to a minimum, in keeping with the ideal natural balance which is the principle that rules the estate. Continuous research and experimenting, both in the vineyard and in the winery, rediscovering old abandoned practices, techniques that have been replaced by modernity for its own sake, are the daily enterprise of Marinella and her family. Ripasso wine has been traditional in the Veneto for a long time. The best young Valpolicella is put into tanks or barrels that still contain the lees of the recioto for which they were previously used. When mixed with the young wine, active yeast cells in this sediment precipitate a second fermentation increasing the alcoholic content. As a result of the care in the winery this deep red coloured wine has a bitter-sweet recioto character as well as a smooth chocolatey texture.and after 24 months of ageing it confers intense ripe morello cherry flavours and plummy mouthfeel.

In 1796 Conte Antonio Rizzardi created the famous garden and green theatre of Pojega, set in the midst of the vineyards which surrounded his villa in Negrar di Valpolicella. Now, just as then, the wine coming from the cultivation at Villa Rizzardi of Pojega is considered a special reserve of the house. The grapes come from a vines selection of more than 25 years old. The wine process involves a secondary fermentation technique called ripasso. This traditional method consist in re-fermenting the wine in the already pressed skins of Amarone. The harvest took place in Pojega in the fist ten days of October. The final product is generous in perfumes that, in the best years, remind especially an intense note of truffles bouquet. Ideal tasting temperature: from 16 to 18ºC. Limited and numbered production. (6 x 75 cl)
