Semonte Alto Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore DOC
75cl
alc. 16.5%
The Semonte Alto Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore by Venturini Massimino e Figli is made from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes grown on the hills of San Floriano , in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica region . The name “Semonte Alto” refers to the highest part of the vineyard, where the calcareous soils and constant ventilation produce grapes of extraordinary quality.
After traditional fermentation, the wine is "ripassato" (re-passed) over the Amarone pomace, an ancient technique that gives it body, structure, and aromatic complexity . A period of aging in oak barrels follows, where the wine evolves and reaches its full harmony.
In the glass, it presents an intense ruby red . The nose opens with aromas of ripe cherry, black cherry, plum and notes of sweet spices , enriched by hints of vanilla and chocolate. On the palate, it is soft, elegant and rounded , with velvety tannins and a perfect balance between freshness and richness. The finish is long and persistent and recalls red fruit preserved in alcohol.
A Ripasso of great elegance , combining the drinkability of Valpolicella with the depth of Amarone. Ideal with red meats, roasts, game, and mature cheeses , but also as a sharing wine for special occasions.
