Gino Cordin Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC 15%
From £36.00
How it’s made
The ‘ripasso’ method is a tradition which is celebrated every year; Valpolicella wine is ‘passed over’ the skins of the grapes already used for Amarone while they are still warm and full of sugars.
The first step is manual harvesting and collection in special boxes which are left in the drying shed for 3 months, then the grapes become a basic Valpolicella which is left in contact with the Amarone skins for a few days. During this time, a second fermentation takes place.
Aging
In French oak barrels for 12 months, then in steel vats until bottling.

Late harvest wine. We wait for the physiological ripeness of the grapes, then we cut the vine shoots that carry the clusters and we leave them on the plant until mid-november. Then, we harvest and vinify with the method of cold maceration for 30 days. With the use of this particular technique we can obtain a wine that will be less acidic on the palate and with a more intense flavor.
