Product DetailsDescriptionThe 2022 Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore from Villa Borghetti is a masterful expression of Veneto winemaking, crafted using the traditional Ripasso method. Deep red in colour, it opens with intense aromas of marasca cherry, blueberry, and currants, complemented by hints of liquorice and toasty notes. On the palate, it is rich and round, with smooth, chocolatey tannins and a well-balanced structure. The persistent finish makes it an exceptional wine for both casual enjoyment and special occasions.History and WinemakingVilla Borghetti, located in the heart of Veneto, selects only the finest grape bunches for this Ripasso. After an initial fermentation and maceration on the skins for 15 days, the wine is re-fermented on the used Amarone grape skins, enhancing its structure and aroma. It is aged for 12 months in barriques of varying sizes before being blended and bottle-aged for an additional six months, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and complexity.Tasting NotesColour: Deep red with vibrant reflections.Nose: Aromas of marasca cherry, blueberry, and currants, with hints of liquorice and toasty nuances.Palate: Rich and smooth, with velvety, chocolatey tannins.
