Red wine | Veneto
The Campelio Valpolicella Ripasso is a beautiful expression of the Veneto region's winemaking prowess. This captivating red wine is crafted using the traditional Ripasso method, where the Valpolicella wine is refermented on the leftover grape skins from Amarone production. This process imparts a richer, more complex character to the wine, infusing it with a depth and intensity that sets it apart. The blend of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, which are native to the area, provides a deep ruby hue and an aromatic bouquet of dark cherries, plums, and subtle spice notes. The palate is a delightful dance of ripe red fruit, supported by smooth tannins and a hint of vanilla from oak aging. The wine’s dry, full-bodied character makes it a versatile partner for various culinary experiences, from traditional Italian dishes to grilled meats and hearty stews. The 13.5% alcohol content provides a warming sensation, perfectly balanced by the wine’s crisp acidity.
