The Brigaldara Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2019 is crafted through the meticulous refermentation of Valpolicella wine on the residual marcs of Amarone della Valpolicella. This traditional 'ripasso' technique imparts a rich structure and balanced taste, with aromas of ripe and dried fruit evolving over time, enhancing the wine's complexity. The vineyard, located in Marcellise, Brigaldara, benefits from the unique terroir of the region, contributing to the wine's distinctive character.

Composition: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and other indigenous varietals. Vine age and soil type: Planted in 1980, the vines thrive in rich, well-drained soils.
Winemaking: The Valpolicella wine is refermented on Amarone della Valpolicella marcs for about 5 days, with short pumping overs to maintain moisture.
Aging: Aged for one and a half years in large wooden barrels.

Falstaff (94): Dark ruby red with gently brightening rim. On the nose lush cranberries and ripe cherries, plus fine sweet spices. On the palate a juicy style and equally juicy delivery, hearty and clear, plus a fine salty tone, nice length.
