Famiglia Pasqua Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2022

Rich, Bold, and Full of Character

Tasting Notes

The Famiglia Pasqua Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso 2022 offers a refined, full-bodied expression of the Veneto region's winemaking prowess. This Ripasso combines the freshness of Valpolicella with the depth of Amarone, creating a beautifully balanced wine. On the nose, expect aromas of dark fruits, blackberries, and cherries, with hints of spice and toasted oak. The palate is rich with velvety tannins, offering flavours of ripe fruit, dried herbs, and a touch of chocolate, finishing with a long, smooth aftertaste.

Perfect Serve

Serve at 18-20°C to best appreciate its complexity. This wine is an excellent match for rich meats like braised lamb or roast beef, as well as aged cheeses and hearty pasta dishes such as lasagne or risotto.

Artisan Craftsmanship

Famiglia Pasqua’s Ripasso is crafted with care using the traditional "ripasso" method, where the Valpolicella wine is re-fermented with the pomace (skins and seeds) left over from Amarone production. This technique imparts extra richness and depth to the wine, while maintaining the bright fruitiness of the base Valpolicella.
