Tinazzi Monteré Ripasso Superiore Ca' de' Rocchi (2019)

Tinazzi Monteré Ripasso Superiore – Italian Luxury Wine

Tinazzi Monteré Ripasso wine is a true representation of Italian wine tradition from Valpolicella. Made from Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, this full-bodied red wine is known for its complex flavor profile with notes of prunes, cherries and a hint of leather. Ideal to accompany grilled dishes, simmered dishes or a classic mushroom risotto.

Scent: An intense aroma of red berries and plums, with subtle notes of toast and lightly toasted aromas.
Taste: The taste is deep and round, characterized by ripe tannins with notes of cherries, prunes and licorice. The wine also has a lovely sweetness from the dried grapes which adds a unique character.
Aftertaste: Long and persistent aftertaste with a nice balance between soft tannins and an elegant structure. Finishes with delicate hints of spices and wood.

Tinazzi Monteré Ripasso Superiore is an exquisite example of the Italian Ripasso technique, where the wine is re-fermented on grape skins from Amarone production. This process gives the wine its characteristic depth and rich taste. The grapes for this wine are harvested from south-facing slopes in Valpolicella, where they are carefully selected and picked by hand.

After a traditional maceration, where the wine extracts flavor from the grape skins, it undergoes a second fermentation in February on residues from the Amarone production. This Ripasso wine is then aged in small French and American oak barrels for up to 18 months, which adds notes of spices and light roasted aromas. The intense ruby red appearance in the glass is accompanied by a complex flavor profile that combines fruity and spicy elements. Perfect for dishes such as grilled meat, mushroom risotto and simmered dishes.
