Description

Domini Veneti's Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 'Maran' is a testament to the rich winemaking heritage of the Veneto region. Crafted in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, this wine embodies the unique 'ripasso' technique, a process where Valpolicella wine is re-passed over the warm, grape skins used in the production of Amarone. This process imparts added color, tannins, and complexity, transforming a light-bodied Valpolicella into a richer, more structured wine. The 'Maran' showcases a deep ruby-red color, hinting at its concentrated flavors. The nose is greeted with an array of inviting aromas including ripe cherries, plums, and a subtle hint of spice, characteristic of the Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grape blend. On the palate, the wine is dry and full-bodied, with a velvety texture that caresses the tongue. The fruit flavors echo the aromas, complemented by earthy undertones and a touch of vanilla from aging in oak barrels. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a warm, spicy aftertaste. Domini Veneti, a cooperative winery committed to preserving the traditions and terroir of Valpolicella, ensures that each bottle reflects the unique characteristics of the region. This 'Maran' Ripasso is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Consider pairing it with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or aged cheeses to enhance its flavors. It is also an excellent accompaniment to hearty pasta dishes or even a rich chocolate dessert. Serve at a temperature of 16°C to fully appreciate its complex aromas and flavors. With its elegant structure and refined character, Domini Veneti's 'Maran' is a Valpolicella Ripasso that delivers both quality and value. Let it breath for about 15 minutes before you pour it into a Burgundy glass for optimal airing.
