Product Description
Dal Cero Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC
60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, and10% Molinara. Dal Cero Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC is a ripe, rich ruby red. On the nose, sweet, succulent fruit combines with smooth spice, followed by delicate notes of pungent spices, creating a full-volumed, enchanting aromatic complex. A tangy acidity beautifully supports the full body, so that the wine is smooth yet surprisingly vibrant as well.

At this point, the Valpolicella is “re-passed” over the Amarone pomace, remaining there 7-8 days at a temperature of 25-28°C.
