From the renowned Valpolicella region of Veneto, Prà's Morandina Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore represents the masterful expression of traditional Veneto winemaking. This distinguished red wine embodies the essence of the historic ripasso method, where wine undergoes a second fermentation over the dried grape skins from Amarone production, creating exceptional depth and complexity. The result is an elegant wine showcasing rich cherry and plum flavors enhanced by warm spice notes and a sophisticated tannic structure characteristic of superior Valpolicella wines.

Composition: Traditional Valpolicella blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes
Sourced from hillside vineyards in the classic Valpolicella zone with volcanic and limestone soils
Winemaking: Traditional fermentation followed by ripasso method using Amarone pomace for enhanced concentration
Aging: Extended maturation in oak barrels developing complexity and refined tannin integration

Wine Critic Reviews

Falstaff (91): Shimmering ruby with a slight garnet edge. Fragrant and clear nose of plums, blackberries and dark cherries. On the approach a lot of juicy fruit, round and smooth on the palate, then unfortunately shows some drying tannin.

Wine Spectator (90): Review not provided.

James Suckling (Not provided): Very reductive out of the glass. Beyond this, however, there is an attractive red-fruited spectrum beyond. Dried tobacco, camphor, star anise and orange peel. Detailed tannins find confluence with bright, almost alpine acidity. Good drinking, although I wouldn’t wait too long. Drink or hold.
