Valpolicella Classico Ripasso Capitel della Crosara - Displaying aromas of almonds, black fruits, chocolate and cinnamon. Leading to an array of cherry, spices and vanilla on the palate. A generous wine - as Ripasso should be, with a long, long finish. Fantastic! Made by the Ripasso (literally 'repassed') method, which involves adding the unpressed skins from the dried grapes which were used to make an Amarone to a young Valpolicella wine. This helps to add extra flavour and alcohol to the wine (causing it to start re-fermenting) and gradually the luscious flavours of Amarone are imparted to the wine. After this the wine is aged for 16 months in French and American oak casks. Try with chicken, calf's liver or a mushroom pasta dish. Also particularly good with dried and smoked meats, the inherent acidity working well with the natural fattiness of the meats. |
