2017 Ripassa Valpolicella Superiore

One of the historic winemaking families of the Veneto, Zenato was among the first to experiment with the Ripasso process. Their 2017 Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Ripassa borrows from this time-honored tradition. The wine is made with 85% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 5% Corvinone, and the results offer an accessible, easy-drinking style (with 180,000 bottles released). The wine shows a dark ruby color with dried blackberry and smoky spice.
