Bonazzi - Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso
The privileged soil conditions and the right proportion of vines make it possible to obtain this Valpolicella, known throughout the world.
Compared to the classic Valpolicella, the name Superiore indicates an ageing of at least two years.
The name Ripasso derives from the technique used to obtain a more alcoholic, colourful, full-bodied wine with more complex aromas. It consists of returning the classic Valpolicella to the Amarone pomace.
After a good ageing in wooden barrels and an ageing of a few months in the bottle, it is put on sale.
