Cortegiara RIPASSO Valpolicella Fumane Veneto
Description: The Valpolicella Ripasso is made with 60% Corvina Veronese, 35% Rondinella, and 5% Molinara in the traditional Ripasso technique. The young Valpolicella, made in October, undergoes a second fermentation in November together with grapes that have been lightly dried for two months. This process adds colour, alcohol and depth of flavour to the finished wine. The 2006 has fresh, ripe plums and red cherries fruit with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg on the palate, and is lingering and intense on the finish. It boasts the vibrancy of fresh young Valpolicella fruit but with the intensity and concentration of Amarone. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £57.88
