In winter, fresh Valpolicella wine (made from Corvina and Rondinella grapes) is poured onto the skins left over from the production of Amarone using the traditional "Ripasso" technique: this process increases the alcohol, body and smell of Valpolicella. This wine is aged in oak barrels and is dry, full-bodied with complex aromas of cherries, red fruits and spices. The Casalforte Valpolicella Ripasso goes perfectly with roasts, steamed and grilled meat and aged cheese.
