Winemaking 

The winemaking of Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore follows a rigorous process, based on the use of the best traditional practices and the use of cutting-edge technologies. 

Fermentation and maceration of the fresh grapes take place in October followed by the racking phase. The wine completes the maturation phase until January/February in cement or steel tanks. 

Subsequently, it is refermented on the Amarone pomace just racked, in order to acquire greater structure, color, and complexity. This process, known as the ‘tecnica del ripasso,’ handed down from generation to generation, gives our Valpolicella Ripasso its unique characteristics and provides greater structure, complexity, and aromatic depth.
