Tasting Notes: The wine displays a deep ruby-red hue. Initial aromas reveal notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. Upon tasting, the palate is greeted by ripe black plum and blackcurrant fruitiness, swiftly followed by flavours of dark chocolate, coffee, and blackberry jam, culminating in a lingering finish. It expresses the typical Ripasso style with rich fruitiness, firm tannins, and a full-bodied structure with layers of complexity.

Tasting Report:

Italian Amarone is renowned for its rich, full-bodied profile, familiar to many. Yet tastes vary; some find Amarone overly weighty, best paired with food.

This is where Ripasso comes into its own. Ripasso undergoes a second fermentation using the lees from Amarone production, resulting in a slightly lighter mouthfeel than Amarone.

Its body is more lively and light. This 2020 Cantina di Negrar Valpolicella Ripasso offers aromas reminiscent of red dates and caramel upon entry, with the palate fully embracing the richness of raisins, complemented by a hint of roasted coffee beans.

Its subtly sweet profile is a flavour nine out of ten would find irresistible, particularly appealing to ladies for its effortless drinkability.

Italian wines often give the impression of requiring lengthy ageing, particularly with rich, dried-fruit styles like Amarone or Ripasso. The purpose of ageing is to soften the tannins and mellow the intense jammy character over time, as younger vintages of Amarone can often feel overly sweet and cloying, lacking nuance.

Therefore, for an entry-level Amarone that requires no ageing, acidity plays a crucial role. Bright acidity can counteract the jammy character, allowing juicy fruit, dried flowers, and dark plum notes to shine through.

Cantina Valpolicella Negrar, established in 1933, is a renowned winery specialising in crafting premium Amarone wines, steadfastly adhering to traditional winemaking methods to produce the finest vintages. This Ripasso wine undergoes a second fermentation using the lees from the Amarone production, employing entirely natural methods to enhance its richness and complexity. It is widely regarded as an ideal entry point for experiencing the traditional Amarone profile.

【Ripasso Winemaking Method】

Ripasso (literally “repressed”) refers to a winemaking technique whereby grape skins are reintroduced into young Valpolicella wines before undergoing a second fermentation.

Crafted using the pomace from Italy's most renowned Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG wine, this process proved so successful that it attained its own DOC classification in 2007. Amarone is a dry red wine produced through the method of drying grapes. After pressing the raisins, a significant amount of grape skins remain. Rather than discarding these, winemakers blend Valpolicella Classico wine with the lees from the same vintage's Amarone before fermentation. The resulting wine is termed Ripasso Valpolicella. Compared to Valpolicella Classico, it exhibits greater complexity, more intense, higher in alcohol, and richer in tannins, establishing its distinctive character. Villa Erbice Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore further incorporates the pomace from Recioto (a DOCG sweet wine) for an additional week of maceration, followed by 18 months of ageing in French oak barrels.

At the end of January, or early February, the semi-dried grapes for Amarone and Recioto are pressed and fermented together with their skins. Following extended skin contact fermentation, the grape skins are removed and the wine is stored for ageing.

Subsequently, the base Valpolicella wine fermented in autumn is placed over these Recioto and Amarone skins, which still contain unfermented sugars, to initiate a second fermentation. These skins retain aromatic compounds, tannins, and other elements. After a brief fermentation period, the wine is transferred to the base Valpolicella wine. Ripasso is an Italian word meaning ‘to review’ or ‘to go over again’.
