Montigoli Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2023 75cl

Amarone's leftover grape skins, still rich in sugars, refermented with this wine through the traditional Ripasso process, adding depth, structure and aromatic intensity to what would otherwise be a lighter Valpolicella. Ripe cherry, plum, blackberry and dried fruits dominate the intense, expressive nose, developing into a full-bodied and beautifully textured palate rich with concentrated dark fruit and savoury flavours, closing on a long, nuanced finish with velvety tannins and a delicate touch of chocolate that reflects the unique depth this refermentation method creates.
