2021 'Cantine Campagnola' Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore

The enterprising spirit of Carlo and Caterina was inherited by Giuseppe, one of ten children, who together with his brothers in 1926 acquired the "Antica Osteria ai Portoni Borsari" in Verona where the wines made on the family farm were sold. Today, the Campagnola company cares for vineyards, selects grapes and collaborates actively with more than 50 wine-growers in the most vocational vineyards around Marano di Valpolicella for a total of about 80 hectares. 

After the wine has been vinified and kept on skins for 10 days, it is placed in inox and cement tanks until February. In February, the following year, the wine referments (Ripasso technqiue) on the fresh pomace left over the from the just-completed Recioto and Amarone fermentation. Intense ruby red colour. Spicy bouquet with intense aromas of ripe cherry and jam. Dry, full, soft flavour in the mouth.
