FAQ
What defines the style of Le Crosare Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore?
The wine combines the fruitiness of Valpolicella with the depth and complexity created by the Ripasso method on Amarone skins. It presents a full-bodied, powerful profile with intense ruby red colour and lasting aromas of ripe berries, coffee and chocolate.
How is Le Crosare Ripasso vinified?
The wine undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation. It then goes through a secondary fermentation using the traditional Ripasso method on the pomace of Amarone wines. The final ageing lasts one year in oak barrels.
What role do Corvina and Rondinella play in this wine?
Corvina is the primary grape variety of Valpolicella wines and provides characteristic cherry fruit, structure and spice. Rondinella adds fresh, berry-like notes and contributes to the wine's depth of colour.
At what temperature should the wine be served?
Le Crosare Ripasso should be served at 18–19°C. Ideally, it should be decanted for one hour before serving to allow its full aromatic potential to develop.
When does Le Crosare Ripasso 2021 reach its best drinking maturity?
The 2021 vintage is currently in a very pleasant drinking phase and continues to evolve particularly harmoniously in the 150 cl format, with fruit, structure and ageing integrating even more with time.
What does Le Crosare Ripasso pair best with?
It pairs excellently with rich, well-seasoned dishes, grilled meats, pasta with meat sauce, game and mature cheeses. Its structure makes it an ideal companion for hearty Northern Italian cuisine.
What makes the Valpolicella Classico zone special?
The Valpolicella Classico zone encompasses the hillside areas of Negrar, Valgatara and Fumane west of Verona in Veneto. The mild climate, calcareous soils and traditional grape varieties Corvina and Rondinella form the basis for the characterful red wines of this DOC appellation.
What role does oak barrel ageing play?
The one-year ageing in oak barrels gives the wine its typical toasted and vanilla aromas as well as a refined tannin structure. The wood supports oxidation and contributes to the complexity and long ageing potential of the wine.
