Wine Description:
Nestled in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, La Giaretta Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a symphony of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, born from the sun-kissed slopes of Valgatara. Handpicked with meticulous care, these grapes undergo a temperature-controlled fermentation, followed by a 5-month stint in stainless steel tanks. The magic unfolds with a second fermentation on Amarone pomace, adding richness and complexity. Two years of aging in French barriques and Slavonian oak casks, followed by a 6-month bottle refinement, culminate in an exquisite expression of Valpolicella's terroir. (99 words)

Valpolicella Classico is a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella and Molinara. Sourced from the historic Valpolicella region, vineyards boast clayey, calcareous soils enriched with tufa and stone layers. Situated at 150 to 300 meters above sea level, the vineyards enjoy optimal east/south-east exposure. Spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts occurs in stainless steel at a controlled 25°C. After a seven-day maceration period, the wine ages on fine lees for an additional five months. This process yields a Valpolicella of distinctive character, reflecting the terroir's nuances and showcasing the elegance of traditional winemaking techniques.
