Description

Imagine yourself transported to the rolling hills of Valpolicella, where the sun-drenched vineyards yield grapes of unparalleled quality. This Bertoldi Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore, vintage 2021, encapsulates the very essence of this remarkable region. From the moment you pour it into your glass, you'll be captivated by its alluring ruby-red hue, a testament to its rich and concentrated character.

Bertoldi, a name synonymous with quality and tradition, has meticulously crafted this Ripasso using the revered Ripasso method. After the fermentation of Amarone wine, the Valpolicella Classico wine is “re-passed” or refermented on the Amarone grape skins, which are rich with sugars and yeasts. This unique process imparts a depth and complexity to the wine that is simply unmatched, creating a truly exceptional experience for the discerning palate.

On the nose, this wine unveils a symphony of enticing aromas. Ripe cherries and plums dance with hints of dried fruit, intertwined with subtle notes of vanilla and spice. As you take your first sip, you'll discover a full-bodied wine with velvety tannins that caress your palate. The vibrant fruit flavors are perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, ensuring a harmonious and lingering finish.

This Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is not merely a wine; it's an invitation to indulge in the Italian lifestyle. Whether you're hosting a sophisticated dinner party or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this wine will elevate any occasion. Pair it with hearty dishes like roasted meats, game, aged cheeses, or rich pasta sauces to unlock its full potential. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, try it with dark chocolate for an unexpected and delightful pairing.

But there's something beyond the taste. Bertoldi, for generations, have poured their heart and soul into every bottle. Their commitment to sustainable practices ensures that the vineyards will continue to thrive for years to come. The terroir, a concept so vital to the Italian wine tradition, expresses itself here with vibrancy and depth. This wine is a snapshot of the unique environment, of the soil, climate and winemaking skill that combine to create something truly special.

Why should you choose this wine from Bertoldi? Because it offers an authentic taste of Valpolicella, crafted with passion and expertise. It's a wine that tells a story, a wine that connects you to the land and the people who made it. This Ripasso isn't just a drink; it's an experience.

So, uncork a bottle of Bertoldi Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore, and let your senses embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of Italy. Salute!
