From the grapes of our vineyards in the Tramigna Valley, we produce this historic wine: Ripasso. This wine is born from the refermentation (“Ripasso”) of the leftover Recioto & Amarone grape skins, which, after the drying process known as “appassimento” & after being crushed, are a special sandy soil, able to enhance elegance and perfumes of the wine still rich in tannins, color & aromas.
