Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella is a red wine from the Veneto region of Italy, made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes. Ripassa is a unique style of wine from Valpolicella, where the wine is "repassed" over the skins and lees of Amarone wine to enhance its depth and complexity.
On the nose, this Valpolicella Superiore has a complex aroma of red and dark fruit, with hints of spices, chocolate, and tobacco. On the palate, it's a full-bodied wine with a velvety texture, flavours of cherry, plum, and a touch of vanilla. The wine has a good level of acidity and a long, persistent finish.
Zenato is a family-owned winery that has been producing wine in the Veneto region since 1960. The winery is known for its dedication to quality and innovation, and Ripassa is one of their most iconic wines. Ripassa is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months to enhance its complexity and depth of flavour.
Zenato Valpolicella Superiore pairs well with a variety of hearty dishes, such as grilled meats, stews, and mature cheeses. It is an excellent choice for wine enthusiasts who enjoy a full-bodied red wine with a complex and layered flavour profile. Zenato Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore can be enjoyed now or cellared for further aging to allow the wine to develop even more complexity and depth of flavour.
