Pietro Zardini Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore
€18.50
Pietro Zardini Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC
A full-bodied and characterful Valpolicella Ripasso with a deep ruby red color. Thanks to the Ripasso method, in which the wine is re-fermented on the lees of Amarone, it gains extra depth, structure, and complexity. The aroma offers rich notes of sour cherry and cooked fruit, while the palate is velvety smooth, powerful, and perfectly balanced. An elegant yet expressive wine, ideal with grilled red meat, pasta with rich sauces, and aged cheeses.
