2001 Zenato Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore[Veneto]
[Blend/Cuvee - Other]
Posted by perle0 on 2005-12-24 14:05:09 [Show TN in Text Format]
Chateau/Producer:Zenato
Wine Name:Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore
Country:Italy
State:Veneto
AOC:DOC
Region:Valpolicella; Classico area of Sant’Ambrogio
Wine Score:87
Notes:The color is a lovely dark beet red. The nose is a nice, fruity scent with raspberry, mint, leather, and a light medicinal smell, like Vicks Vap-O-Rub or mimeograph fluid. The flavor is good, full and fruity, but not too flashy, with a hint of bitterness from the Amarone.
Tasting Date:2005-10-15
Varietal:Corvina Veronese, Rondinella, San
Production Notes:80% Corvina Veronese, 10% Rondinella, 10% Sangiovese. The production of this wine is strictly related to that of Amarone: after Amarone is finished fermenting, the pomace of the dried grapes used to produce it is joined with the Valpolicella fermented just after the October harvest. This second fermentation raises the alcohol and gives the wine deeper colour, richer body and aromas. After bottle-ageing, it is ready to be enjoyed.
