For lovers of 'non-extreme' withering, Ripasso is undoubtedly an excellent choice. A younger brother of the lord of Valpolicella, the noble Amarone, this wine, in Speri's version, comes from the company's own vineyards, located in Valpolicella Classica. We are located between 120 and 350 metres above sea level, specifically in the municipalities of San Pietro in Cariano, Fumane and Negrar. In this case, the basic blend is composed of Corvina Veronese for 70%, Rondinella for 20% and Molinara, with other indigenous varieties, for the remaining 10%. After harvesting, which is done manually, the grapes are taken to the cellar for immediate crushing, followed by maceration at a controlled temperature. Then, at the beginning of March, this Valpolicella Classico wine is macerated on the marc of Amarone. This is followed by 12 months of maturation in 20-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks and a further 6 months of bottle ageing. Intense red, on the nose this Ripasso presents very clear scents of red fruit, spices and cocoa. In the mouth it is warm and soft, well balanced by round tannins. An extremely versatile wine, it is ideal with meat and cheese dishes.
