Description

Discover the elegance of the Valpolicella region with this exquisite Ripasso Classico Superiore from Giuseppe Campagnola, a historic family winery established in 1907. This wine is a masterclass in the traditional 'Ripasso' technique, where the wine is refermented on the skins of Amarone, resulting in a 'baby Amarone' that balances intensity with approachable charm. On the nose, it offers a sophisticated, spicy bouquet dominated by deep notes of ripe cherries, berries, and pleasant jammy nuances. On the palate, it reveals a full-bodied, velvety texture characterized by harmonious, dry flavors and a signature, satisfyingly bitter finish that is typical of high-quality Valpolicella. Its complexity is further enhanced by 12 months of maturation in a blend of large Slavonian oak casks and French barriques. This wine is exceptionally versatile, making it the perfect companion for a wide array of Italian-inspired cuisine. Its robust structure pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes, such as traditional risotto or hearty meat-based ragus. It also stands up well to grilled red meats, roasted game, and medium-to-long-aged cheeses. Whether you are hosting a festive dinner or enjoying a quiet evening, this Ripasso provides an unforgettable sensory experience that embodies the passion and heritage of five generations of the Campagnola family.
