The particular softness and sweeter notes of the Ripasso of Bertani are the result of a skillful blend between the selection of grapes from the Valpantena and the Classica zones. From the former come in fact the softness and roundness, characteristics that flow into delicate chocolate notes, from the latter the fruitier notes such as cherry, morello cherry, and currant.
The Valpolicella Ripasso DOC of Bertani is a great red wine that as per tradition is left to ferment after the winter together with the skins of Amarone in order to increase its structure and complexity. An ancient, unique practice, which is followed by a slow maturation in barrels of just under 12 months, a period necessary to find that harmony and balance that characterize the best Ripasso.
