Vinification and refinement
Vinification: The pressed grapes fall by gravity into small 50 hectoliter stainless steel vats. Daily pumpovers and delestages are carried out throughout the entire fermentation period. Temperature controlled at 28°C.
Ripasso is the result of a second fermentation, which took place in February after the harvest, on the Amarone pomace. As a result, an enrichment in structure and body, alcohol content and aromatic profile is obtained.
Aging: Ripasso ages in selected oak wood, mainly in barriques but also large barrels. Finally, it ages in the bottle.
