La Giaretta Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Doc 2019

La Giaretta Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2019 Song: Tainted Love by Gloria Jones. ‘Ripasso’ is one of the most ingenious practices in winemaking, made by macerating the Amarone pomace (skins and solid parts leV aVer the fermenta5on) with Valpolicella Classico: this method was invented by farmers, who cleverly used leVovers of the previous vintage to enrich their everyday wines and to create a more complex and intense version with no additional budget. For this reason, I believe that Ripasso is one of the best values you can find in Italy and it is the perfect introduction to Italian wines for Cabernet lovers. Lively bouquet of red cherries, dried plums, red rose, cinnamon and an elegant spiciness of black pepper and black tea typical of Valpolicella wines: overall, the pomace of the Amarone from the previous vintage, brings a beau5ful contribu5on with more power and elegance. Palate is robust, yet very elegant and beau5fully refined, with a pleasant freshness and a polished tannin, with a nice finish of red fruits and black tea. A spicy red with a beautiful rockabilly personality. 40% Corvina, 40% Corvinone, 20% Rondinella. 1bts in Shipment. Drink Through 2022-2025. Open 1h before. Price range $21
