Bertani's Ripasso is a true classic. The grapes come from the hills around Valpantena and from the direct Valpolicella Classico area. The production at Bertani is carried out according to the old traditional method: The young, already fermented Valpolicella wine is blended with the skins, which have dried naturally in the meantime, giving it a richer and more concentrated aroma. It then undergoes a second so-called "ripasso" fermentation, which is triggered by the yeasts that are still sufficiently present in the skins.

Intense purple with violet reflections. On the nose, numerous dark red fruits such as blackberry, currant and ripe cherry. It has a slightly bitter aftertaste, which, with the slightly increased residual sweetness, results in an exciting yet dry impression. Velvety and balanced, with quite a long finish. An ideal wine for the darker months and an excellent companion for strong and aromatic dishes. SUPERIORE.DE

"The original Ripasso wine would have been more of a super-charged Valpolicella than a mini Amarone, and this example is true to that type, highlighting the fresh and lighter style of the Valpantena, a long, steeply sloping valley with a particularly cool microclimate. Clean and fresh with ripe and forward cherry fruit aromas accompanied by subtle dried fruit shadings, it's zingy with positive acidity and lightly exotic fruit flavours, ending with a clean and firm finish."
