Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC 2021 Villa Annaberta

Ripasso Cottini Villa Annaberta comes from the typical blend Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella and from a manual harvest, which usually takes place in the second half of September; upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes are de-stemmed and crushed, before proceeding with fermentation, which takes place in stainless steel tanks and maceration at controlled temperatures. Alcoholic fermentation follows, which lasts about 15 days at a controlled temperature of 20-24 ° C. In a second moment the wine is separated from the skins, by means of soft pressing and stored in steel tanks until the dried grapes are pressed for the production of Amarone. The wine is then "Ripassato" on the pomace of Amarone, where it remains for about 15 days at a controlled temperature of 24 ° C.

Intense red in color with garnet reflections, the nose is gentle with its complex aromas of forest berries, sultanas and figs. Full on the palate with soft tannins and persistent aftertaste.

It masterfully accompanies important first courses such as stuffed pasta and second courses of meat such as roasts, boiled meats and medium-aged cured meats. Perfect with medium-aged cheeses.
