La Dama’s “RIPASSO Superiore BIO” (La Dama central estate in Negrar) is an intense, fruity and elegant red wine pure expression of the classing blend of indigenous grapes of Valpolicella.
With its great versatility and smoothness, this wine is capable of captivating everyone. An excellent and stunning wine for its intense and clear fruit flavors, which cannot leave anyone indifferent.
Following manual harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and immediately followed by their fermentation in cement tanks.
In January, the wine is transferred onto the Amarone pomace, which still retains some sugar, to start the second fermentation (the Ripasso technique). After fermentation, the wine matures in wood for 24 months and then in the bottle for another 6 months.
The appearance shows a bright ruby red. The nose is reminiscent of red fruits like cherries, red plums, and ripe raspberries. Minty notes blend with hints of red oranges and spices such as cinnamon and cardamom.
The palate delivers juicy and fresh mouthfeel, supporting the aroma’s with a beautiful acidity which suistain the alcohol, making the sip pleasantly fresh & light despite its structure.
Food-match: extremely versatile, it pairs best with meat dishes, such as grilled beef.
Recommended serving-temperature of 16°C.
