An elegant expression of Corvina, Rondinella & Molinara. Harvested from hillside vineyards in the heart of Valpolicella Classica.

On the nose, it opens with a bouquet of ripe cherries, violets, and dried herbs, underscored by hints of tobacco and sweet spice. The palate is silky yet structured, offering a balanced interplay of red berries, licorice, and mineral tones with vibrant acidity and a lingering, refined finish. Ideal with roasted duck, veal cutlets, or aged pecorino.

Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC, 2017, Ceschi di Ceschi, Veneto, Italy (1 bottle)
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.

A regal expression of Veneto’s winemaking tradition, crafted from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes. Following the traditional appassimento method, the grapes are partially dried before fermentation, concentrating their flavors and aromas. The wine matures extensively in large oak barrels and bottle, resulting in a luxurious profile. On the nose, it unveils a symphony of dried cherries, figs, cocoa, sweet tobacco, and exotic spices. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with layers of dark fruit preserves, roasted coffee, and a touch of balsamic, supported by firm tannins and a lingering, elegant finish. Perfect with aged cheeses, braised meats, and hearty pasta dishes. Ceschi di Ceschi, a boutique producer rooted in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, is devoted to crafting small-lot wines that marry time-honored techniques with terroir-driven precision.
