Cellar for up to 10 years. No need to decant before serving. This bright crimson Ripasso is beautiful with its origins from the hilly Valpolicella regions of Northern Italy. Gian Andrea Tinazzi bought Tenuta Valleselle at around 1986.The Tinazzi wineries are family-owned and dedicated to sheer elegance and excellence in winemaking. Their success has greatly contributed to the economic stability of this region, another testament to the vineyard’s dominance. This Italian Ripasso wine comes along with delightful vanilla, chocolate, and coffee bean aromas on the nose. Has a softness on entry but exhibits notes of oak, rounded tannins, and cherry on the finish. Besides, its juicy fruit flavors flow effortlessly across the tongue. It is a great combo if you love Italian food on a Friday night. Tinazzi Tenuta Valleselle Rovertondo Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is made with 80% Corvina, 10% Rondinella and 10% Molinara grapes. The unique layout of the Tenuta Valleselle wineries encourages full maturity of the fruits before being harvested żeby handpicking. The harvested berries are first dried and then carefully macerated. Afterward, fermentation takes place for about 8 days. To obtain a more complex structure, the wine is passed through the skins of Amarone grapes, after which it is transferred to French barrels for 8 to 10 months for maturity. The wine pairs nicely with Italian food, veal, beef and game deer.
