WINE DESCRIPTION

David Sterza Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a premium wine hailing from the renowned Valpolicella region in Italy. Crafted using the traditional "Ripasso" technique, this wine is a blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. The vineyards benefit from the region's unique microclimate and well-drained soils, which contribute to the wine's distinct character. This Ripasso undergoes a second fermentation on the dried grape skins used for Amarone, imparting additional richness and complexity. The result is a robust, well-structured wine that exemplifies the elegance and tradition of Valpolicella.
