1 BOTTLE OF RIPASSO VALPOICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE DOC, 2017, CESCHI DI CESCHI, VENETO, ITALY
Crafted from Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, showcasing the traditional ripasso technique—where Valpolicella wine is refermented on the lees of Amarone grapes. This process enriches the wine with added complexity and body. Aged in large Slavonian oak barrels followed by time in bottle, the result is a wine of expressive depth. Aromas of wild cherry, dried plum, and rose petals unfold alongside subtle notes of leather, dark chocolate, and baking spice. The palate is plush and structured, with vibrant acidity weaving through layers of macerated berries and earthy undertones, culminating in a persistent, savory finish. Pair with mushroom risotto, roasted lamb, or aged cheeses. Ceschi di Ceschi, based in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, is a family-run winery dedicated to producing artisanal wines that honor tradition while expressing the soul of their native vineyards.
