Title: Giacomo Montresor Valpolicella Ripasso 'Capitel della Crosara' | Red Wine | 75cl | United Kingdom Brand: Winebuyers Description: This red wine is made using the ripasso method, where the unpressed skins from dried grapes used to make an Amarone are added to a young Valpolicella wine. This process imparts extra flavour and alcohol, causing the wine to re-ferment and gradually absorb the luscious flavours of Amarone. The wine is then aged for 12 months in French and American oak casks and small barriques. The inviting, richly fruity nose offers aromas of fresh morello cherry, ripe plum, and hints of dried fruits. The full-flavoured palate reveals concentrated black cherry, brown spice, vanilla notes, and a hint of liquorice. The long finish showcases the classic bitter cherry fruit finish typical of ripasso wines.
