The grapes for this Ripasso come from the Marne Bianche vineyard at Tenuta Maternigo – a vineyard that has been run by the Tedeschi family for generations. Corvina and Corvinone (35% each), Rondinella (20%) and 10% indigenous varieties such as Rossignola, Oseleta, Negrara and Dindarella grow here on moraine clay and limestone with a density of 5,500 vines per hectare. Vinification follows the classic Ripasso method: After 15 days of maceration at 28°C, the young Valpolicella is fermented on the marc of Amarone and Recioto – eight to ten days at a cool 18°C. This "second passage" gives the wine fullness and depth without stifling its freshness. It then matures for 15 months in Slavonian oak and a further six months in the bottle.

Deep ruby red colour. The nose reveals cherry, raspberry and redcurrant, with spicy notes. Round and dry on the palate, with silky tannins and a lingering final. A Ripasso that stands out elegantly from the mainstream – with braised meat, game or mature cheese. SUPERIORE.DE
