Valpolicella

On our hills, the privileged soil conditions and the right proportion of vines allow us to obtain this Valpolicella, known throughout the world.

Compared to the classic Valpolicella, the designation Superiore indicates an ageing of at least two years.

The name Ripasso derives from the technique used to obtain a more alcoholic, colourful, full-bodied wine with more complex aromas.

It consists in re-fermenting Valpolicella classico on the marc of our Amarone.

After suitable ageing and refining for a few months in the bottle, it is put on sale.

Smell

Intense ruby red, with bright reflections tending to an elegant old brick colour with age. Ripe fruit is the main scent on the nose: dried plum, cooked pear; then spices, such as pepper, softened by a balsamic and ethereal note.

Pairing

Because of its pleasantness and structure, it can accompany winter first courses, meat main courses, grilled meats, cold cuts and medium-aged cheeses.

Taste

Leaves the palate satisfied with a wide range of lingering aftertastes and a hint of pipe tobacco and light spices. Good balance thanks to round tannin, balanced by freshness and softness.

Host information

For generations, the Bonazzi family has been handing down the peasant work of grape growing and winemaking. The Fratelli Bonazzi winery is a family-run business, producing excellent classic vintage wines. The winery and vineyards are located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico area, in foothill plots supported by the characteristic dry-wall terraces (marogne).

The winery, in addition to being linked to the ancient winemaking traditions handed down through the ages, is nevertheless always very attentive to technological innovations.
This is why Mario, Luciano and Angelo are constantly seeking to make changes in the winery and vineyards that will allow for qualitative improvements in the great gift that nature has given us: wine.
