Domìni Veneti Marco Polo Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore 2021

Tasting Notes: A rich and velvety Valpolicella Ripasso with a bright ruby-red colour. The nose opens with ripe red fruit and develops into notes of sweet spice. Full and harmonious on the palate, with balanced acidity, well-integrated tannins and a soft, generous finish.

Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by hand at the beginning of October, then destemmed and pressed. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 25–28°C, followed by a 10-day maceration with regular punch-downs. The wine is then refermented on Amarone skins for 15 days using the traditional ripasso method. After completing malolactic fermentation, it is aged in wood for approximately nine months, followed by further ageing in stainless steel and bottle.

Varieties: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and other permitted local varieties
