Albino Armani Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso Barrique DOC 2022

Albino Armani Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso – where tradition meets character. If you're looking for an Italian red wine with depth, warmth, and history, you'll love the Albino Armani Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC. This exquisite wine from the renowned Valpolicella Classico region in the heart of Veneto is the result of an ancient technique: the Ripasso method involves pouring young Valpolicella wine over the still-aromatic pomace of Amarone. This triggers a second fermentation, giving the wine more structure, body, and complexity.

• Color: Intense ruby red
• Bouquet: Ripe cherries, dark berries, spices, mint, ginger

In your glass, the Ripasso displays an intense ruby red color that promises elegance at first glance. On the nose, a rich bouquet unfolds, with notes of ripe cherries, dark berries, spices, and delicate herbs like mint and ginger. On the palate, it is persistent, full-bodied, and warm, with a long, fruity finish and a hint of dark chocolate – simply perfectly balanced thanks to its aging in oak barrels.
