Vinification Details

  • The grapes were destemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and the fruit character. The wine was then passed over dried grape skins, which creates a darker colour and adds an extra richness to the wine. The wine is then aged in oak before bottling.

History

  • Run by Luca Degani since 1995, the Cantina di Valpantena is now one of Italy's best co-operatives, with 700 hectares of vineyard producing excellent quality fruit.

Regional Information

  • The grapes for the Valpolicella Ripasso are grown on the steeply terraced hillside vineyards belonging to the co-operative, where soils are chalky and poor. The wine is a blend of two traditional Valpolicella varieties.

A good well rounded wine that goes well with beef

5 stars

A good well rounded wine that goes well with beef or a strong flavoured cheese.

Good Wine

We drank this wine for wine and cheese night. Loved it. Smooth, fruity, dry taste. My Italian tastebuds are very happy.

Buy this

5 stars

Beautiful wine, we had this with a Toulouse sausage cassoulet which was garlicky and rich, this wine went perfectly. Rich and flavourful and eminently drinkable

Great value

5 stars

Excellent ripasso. Great nose, great flavour. I'd pay twice the amount for it and still be happy. Rich, jammy and flavourful with a slight creamy ricotta note.

This is an excellent Ripasso and as good as we hav

5 stars

This is an excellent Ripasso and as good as we have found anywhere at the price. Absolutely love it and will be serving at our daughter's forthcoming wedding. All our friends who have tried it love it too. Only problem is we drink far too much of it!

Excellent flavour

5 stars

Excellent flavour, very easy drinking. We bought this red as a one off purchase but have continued to buy it ever since. It goes well with most meals, it particularly goes well with a good spaghetti bolognaise and cheese board.
