Il Sestante
Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore
DOC

€59.00

Very strict grape selection and careful vinification using the traditional method of re-fermenting on the pomace from the Amarone create this complex and mellow wine.

We were so proud of our first “Ripasso” made with a selection of our best grapes, that we became the first family to flaunt the name on a label.

Appassimento

The selected grapes are placed onto traditional Arele and then left to rest for minimum 110 days in a large dedicated open room, where a ventilation system mantains an elevated and constant air flow. During this period the grapes are constantly checked since we want to keep them perfectly healthy, without any mildew.
