Bertani Valpolicella Ripasso – Valpolicella Ripasso – Red – 2022:

 

The Valpolicella Ripasso DOC: Bertani’s Structured Classic

From the esteemed Cantine Bertani, a benchmark producer in Veneto since 1857, the Valpolicella Ripasso offers a superb blend of traditional winemaking and modern elegance. The ‘Ripasso’ technique-a secondary fermentation on the skins left over from Amarone production-enriches the wine, lending it remarkable body, deep colour, and concentrated flavour without the full intensity of an Amarone.

Tasting Profile: A Symphony of Spice and Fruit

A sophisticated Italian red, perfect for a grand dinner or a cosy evening.

• Appearance: A deep, vibrant ruby red.
• Aroma: A rich, layered bouquet of ripe cherry, dried forest fruits, and plum, with distinguished notes of sweet spice, dark chocolate, and a hint of savoury tobacco.
• Taste: Full-bodied and smooth, the palate is fleshy and well-rounded. It exhibits a lovely balance of powerful fruit, subtle tannins, and a refreshing acidity, culminating in a long, satisfying finish.

Food Matching & Decanting

The structure of this Ripasso makes it an exceptional partner for traditional British comfort food and rich continental dishes. Decant for 30 minutes to fully appreciate its complexity. Serve at 16°C-18°C.

• Food Matches: Ideal with a classic Steak and Ale Pie, slow-cooked venison casserole, or a traditional Sunday Roast Beef. Pairs wonderfully with mature, hard cheeses.
