WINE DESCRIPTION
Le Ragose Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a premium red wine produced by Le Ragose, a renowned winery located in the heart of the Valpolicella Classico zone in Italy. The wine is made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which benefit from the area's unique microclimate, with hot summers and cool breezes from Lake Garda. The wine is made using the traditional ripasso technique, where the young wine is refermented with the dried grape skins of the estate's Amarone wine, adding complexity and depth. The resulting wine is full-bodied and velvety, with notes of black cherry, plum, and spice, making it an ideal choice for pairing with roasted meats, stews, and aged cheeses.

This Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore shows a bright and vibrant ruby red color in the glass, with a nose of ripe black cherry, wild herbs, and a hint of tobacco.On the palate, a full-bodied and earthy flavor emerges with a subtle spice, along with black currant, raspberry, and a hint of licorice. The finish is harmonious and persistent, with a hint of sweet cherry. This is an elegant and well-balanced wine, with a long-lasting and complex finish.
