Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is a distinguished wine crafted by the renowned Zenato winery, located in the Veneto region of Italy. This wine is a blend primarily composed of Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes, which are traditional varietals of the Valpolicella area. The Ripasso method involves re-fermenting the wine on the skins of dried grapes used for Amarone, imparting additional complexity and depth. The wine is aged in oak barrels, enhancing its rich and velvety texture. It exhibits a robust flavor profile with notes of ripe cherries, plums, and a hint of spice, balanced by a structured tannin backbone and vibrant acidity. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, and aged cheeses.
