TASTING NOTES
Valpolicella Ripasso takes its name from the technique by which it is produced. The Ripasso method, then, is an ancient practice that consists of ripassare, that is, putting in contact, Valpolicella wine with the marc of Amarone or Recioto, for about 15-20 days, during which a second alcoholic fermentation takes place. 2019 is an important year for Valpolicella as the wine production regulations have been changed, which from this vintage are stricter and more selective. From this vintage, therefore, in general, all Valpolicella wines, and in particular Amarone, Recioto, and Ripasso, will be of even better quality. The first part of spring 2019 was quite cold, with difficult flowering and peculiar fruit set. This lowered the quantity of grapes produced. Then came the summer with average temperatures, before the harvest came rains that cooled and lowered night temperatures, and this allowed the grapes to ripen with a balanced gradation between sugars and acidity, delaying the harvest. In the case of Valpolicella Ripasso Zane 2019, fermentation lasted 20 days, with three daily pump-overs and two delastages. In February/March, having completed refermentation on Amarone and Recioto pomace, it was racked off and racked into barrels for 18-24 months. Subsequent bottle aging for 6 months is necessary to rebalance the wine after the stress of bottling. Valpolicella Ripasso Zane 2019 presents delicate aromas of red fruits under spirits with spicy accords on the nose. Softness and depth in the mouth make this wine an ideal companion for roasts, boiled meats and game.
