Villa Borghetti Valpolicella Ripasso
Regular price $30.00
Using the Ripasso technique, we obtain the maximum expression of the Corvina, Rondinella, Corvinone and Negrara grapes. After long maceration on the skins, the wine remains in stainless steel until February before being pumped over the pomace from the vinification of the Amarone. This causes a new fermentation, which increases the body and intensity of the wine. It is then transferred into barrels of various sizes for 8 months prior to the final blend being prepared. After bottling, it undergoes another long period of maturation.
Style
