Tommasi 2016 Ripasso Blend Valpolicella DOCG, Italy

Description

This wine is made with a very old and traditional method of refermenting the juice from the Valpolicella on the warm Amarone grape skins, in the typical “Ripasso” method, which imparts a rich character and personality to the wine. The grapes are sourced from three of most prestigious vineyards in Valpolicella Classico owned by the Tommasi family: Conca d’Oro, La Groletta, and De Buris. A blend of 70% Corvina Veronese, 25% Rondinella, and 5% Corvinone, the wine is vinified in stainless steel so that the character of the grapes isn’t over-influenced by oak at the beginning of the process. After a long aging process, this wine is ready to share and is full of complex flavors worth exploring.
