Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2021 Bertani

Valpolicella Ripasso di Bertani is born in vineyards located on the hills of Valpantena and Valpolicella Classica.

It is mainly produced with Corvina Veronese grapes and with Merlot and Rondinella grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand at the end of September. The first fermentation takes place in special, wide and low steel tanks that allow greater contact between the skins and the must, at a controlled temperature of 20-22 ° C for 2 weeks. The second fermentation, "Ripasso", takes place on the Amarone skins, after which the wine is aged in Veronese French oak barrels for 9 months.

Bertani's Valpolicella Ripasso has an intense purple red colour with violet reflections. The nose opens with intense aromas of blackberry, black currant and ripe cherry. On the palate it is full and harmonious, velvety, with a pleasantly lively and savoury aftertaste.

Perfect to accompany first courses, in particular risotto with porcini mushrooms, this red wine is ideal in combination with grilled meats, roasts and medium-aged cheeses.
