FAQ

The production process of Amarone della Valpolicella, in general, begins with the creation of a normal Valpolicella, which then undergoes a second fermentation (ripasso) on the pomace left over from the production of Amarone or Recioto. This method gives the wine greater complexity, body and alcohol content. The wine is then aged in wooden barrels for a period that varies depending on the producer's choices, before being bottled.
Valpolicella Ripasso differs from Valpolicella Classico mainly due to the "ripasso" process. While Valpolicella Classico is a lighter and fruitier wine, ideal for young consumption, Ripasso acquires more robust and structured characteristics thanks to contact with the Amarone pomace, becoming richer, with greater depth of aromas and greater concentration.
The best years for a Valpolicella Ripasso depend on numerous factors, including the climate and specific growing conditions that year. Vintages considered exceptional for the Valpolicella region often result in superior quality Ripasso wines. For specific details, it is recommended to consult expert reviews and ratings for the vintage of interest.
To best preserve Valpolicella Ripasso and maintain its quality, the wine should be kept in a cool and controlled environment, away from sources of light and heat, at a constant temperature around 12-15°C. The bottle should be stored horizontally to keep the cork moist and prevent air from entering which could oxidize the wine.
