Dal Cero Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2016

The 2016 Dal Cero Ripasso starts as a Valpolicella from the family's eastern Valpolicella vineyards, a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. In January, when the dried Amarone grapes are pressed, the wine is passed over the Amarone skins for seven to eight days, picking up depth and dried-fruit character, and then matures about a year in large French oak casks. Expect a rich ruby colour, sweet fruit and layered spice, and a full body kept lively by bright acidity.
