An AH Excellent Selection wine has something extra to tell. In this Ripasso, it lies in the way the wine is made. A Ripasso ferments twice. Right after the harvest, the regular Valpolicella is made first. When that wine is ready, the winemaker adds the skins of dried grapes used for Amarone. Then the second fermentation begins, during which extra color and flavor are extracted from those skins. This makes Valpolicella Ripasso taste fuller, richer, and stronger. This is a wine to enjoy at your leisure, simply as a glass on its own or with pasta with a thick (meat) sauce. Valpolicella Ripasso has extra fullness because it is fermented twice.
