Scuderia Italia – Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore D.O.C. – 2016 – Italy – Red Wines – Luxury Limited Edition – Avvenice

Scuderia Italia – Prestigious Italian Wines

Scuderia Italia was born from an intuition of Flavio Sartori, who turned his life-long passion for wine into his job. Graduated in Viticulture and Enology at the prestigious Conegliano branch of the University of Padua, he involves his father Loris, an entrepreneur with decades of experience, in his project and together they create the “Scuderia Italia – Prestigious Italian Wines” collection with the ambition that it can one day become a point of reference for wine lovers, offering products from different origins, but united by the search for the maximum expression of their territory.

Scuderia Italia – Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore D.O.C. – 2016 – Italy – Red Wines – Luxury Limited Edition

Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC is an excellent red wine, obtained through the refermentation and a second maceration of the vintage Valpolicella Classico on the pomace of Amarone and Recioto, still rich in typical aromatic components. Subsequently the “Ripasso” ages for 12 months in tonneau, to develop its unmistakable peculiarities.

Intense ruby red wine, with an intense, fine and ethereal aroma with notes of spices and vanilla. It has a warm, full-bodied flavor with hints of dried fruit reminiscent of Amarone.
