Ripasso 2021

A really dry ripasso (2g sugar) produces an elegant wine with delicious red fruit.

Ca La Bionda's Ripasso is completely dry in the true Cà la Bionda style, a wine with structure that is at the same time elegant, fresh and unlike many other Ripassos.
An elegance that gives a wine with high sipping ability.

Light red berries in an elegant style and freshness and elegance with good body and structure.
A good food wine that can also handle slightly heavier dishes and a charcuterie or cheese platter.

Ca La Bionda has been one of our favorite producers for a long time as we really like the style!

Grape varieties: Corvina 70%, Corvinone 20%, Rondinella and Molinara 10%

Soil: The soil is a mixture of mainly clayey limestone rich in calcium, with a significant presence of stone and rock material. This type of soil gives the wines great freshness and elegance, which are crucial characteristics for long-lived wines.

Vineyards: The vineyards are located in a hilly area, at a varying altitude between 150 and 300 meters above sea level, with eastern and southeastern exposure.

Harvest date: The harvest usually begins in the last ten days of August and continues until the end of September.

Maturation: "Ripasso" is an ancient technique that involves the Valpolicella wine undergoing a second fermentation on the pressed skins of the Amarone wines. In this way, the fermented skins, rich in color, aroma and sugar, contribute to a second fermentation of the Valpolicella wine and improve its quality. After fermentation, the wine is aged in oak barrels of 2000 and 3000 liters for about 18 months.

Alcohol content: 13.5%
