Tasting Notes
Aromas of dried cherry and dark plums are followed by hints of mocha and dark chocolate on the nose.
A powerful, full-bodied palate opens with a spiced fruit character and supportive tannins. Raisin and candied peel notes come from the 'ripasso' method and are layered with rounded, ripe cherry flavours.
The finish is long with added spicy nutmeg notes.
About
The grapes for the Valpolicella Ripasso are grown on the steeply terraced hillside vineyards belonging to the co-operative, where soils are chalky and poor. The wine is a blend of two traditional Valpolicella varieties.
Once fermentation was complete, a second fermentation took place on the skins of the Torre del Falasco Amarone in the traditional 'ripasso' method.
The wine was then filtered and clarified before being aged for two years in stainless-steel barrels.
Ideal with...
Grilled meats, hearty pasta and strong cheeses.
