Product Notes

Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore is an Italian red wine of unparalleled quality hailing from Valpolicella region. It delivers a complex aroma profile featuring dried fruits, spices, and hints of chocolate. On the palate, this full-bodied, velvety wine offers rich, bold flavours of plums and cherries, with a peppery warmth and robust, enduring finish. The Ripasso method, by which the wine is 'repassed' over Amarone skins, imparts an additional depth and intensity. Seasoned wine drinkers will admire its structured tannins and balanced acidity. Serve with hearty dishes, mature cheeses or enjoy it on its own during a relaxed evening.

Tasting Notes

A refined and concentrated wine, extremely smooth and velvety, with vibrant red fruit aromas. On the palate, it delivers fruity notes and elegant tannin with hints of chocolate and spice. Ripassa has played a highly important role in the Zenato winery’s evolution over the years.
