Blend of Corvina Veronese & Rondinella
Mixed soils with a good component of limestone and rich in structure. Manual harvest, sorting the grapes in the vineyard, is carried out in late September. First fermentation for 9 days in stainless steel tanks with temperature control. 2nd fermentation with the Amarone skins in February. Aged for about 4 months in stainless steel, 11 months in Slavonian oak barrels followed by 2 months of bottle aging.
Ripasso della Valpolicella is the perfect combination of the red fruit profile given by fresh grapes and the richness of dried grapes on the palate. On the nose, we find cherries, strawberries, and cranberries, well supported by toasted and smoky notes. The palate is rich yet refreshing, with firm ripe tannins that linger and an aftertaste of red and black fruits that prolongs the sip.
Ripasso Corte Giara pairs well with a variety of dishes thanks to its rich structure and complex aromatic profile. It is ideal with pasta al ragù, lasagna, or pappardelle with wild boar, where the wine’s richness balances the heartiness of the dish. It is also perfect for meat stews, braised dishes, and casseroles, where the wine’s tannins help balance the rich and complex flavors.
