Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore VALPO DOC BIO FASOLI GINO

The Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC “Valpo” from the Fasoli Gino winery is made from Corvinone, Corvina and Rondinella grapes from the hilly vineyards of Valpolicella, characterised by calcareous and stony soils. The harvest is manual, with careful selection of bunches between late September and early October. After harvesting, the grapes are left to wilt for about 20–30 days in a cool environment. The first fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled wooden barrels, followed by a second fermentation in 500-liter barrels for approximately four months. The wine is then subjected to the traditional Ripasso method, remaining in contact with the Amarone skins together with a small addition of dried grapes, acquiring greater structure, intensity and complexity. The final aging lasts two to four years in barrels of different sizes.
