Near identical grape composition as the Amarone Classico. This superiore ripasso is 're-passed' with a pomace of grape skins to produce a medium bodied wine with a hint of sour cherry.
Of the four Valpolicella styles, two are best enjoyed within the first five years of release (Classico, Ripasso). The Amarone and Recioto can last for 10 years or more in the bottle.
Casa Giona is known for wines that overdeliver on their price tags, and this Ripasso is sure to reinforce that rep. Re-fermented on Amarone skins to infuse extra depth, it promises complex notions of cherry, wild berry and spice wrapped in elegant, silky tannins. Sip with pancetta-and-mushroom risotto.
