Bolla Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Le Poiane 2021

Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore from Bolla, made by the traditional ripasso method. In February, once the Amarone has been drawn off, its pomace is added to late-harvested grapes. This starts a new fermentation lasting 15 to 20 days, which adds complexity and smooths the tannins. It is deep ruby in colour, with fine spicy and peppery aromas. The palate is velvety and soft, with elegant tannin and good aromatic persistence. It suits rich dishes of red meat or long-aged cheeses, and can also be served after a meal.
