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.
