Ripa Della Volta
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG (Organic) 2017
Vinification: The grapes rest in the drying loft of the Romagnano cellar from October to January.
Ageing: it ages in 25-hl Slavonian oak barrels and French wood barriques for 3 years.
Tasting notes: It is a wine with a marked personality, great finesse, elegance, and extraordinary longevity. It features an intense red colour with garnet highlights. The nose offers up a rich variety of aromas with fruity notes of cherries, morello cherries and plums, spices and hints of chocolate. It is round and caressing with soft, mellow tannins balanced by excellent acidity that enhances its drinkability and ageing potential.
Temperature of service: Served at 16-18°C
Food Paring: This is a wine of harmony, intensity, and elegance. It complements rich and structured dishes such as porcini mushroom risotto, tagliolini with truffles, and classic meat entrees like filetto alla Rossini. Roasts and braised meats are enhanced by its flavour complexity; it is equally suited as a contemplative “meditation” wine alongside aged cheeses.
