Vinification of the Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore from Bolla

The starting point for the first-class and wonderfully powerful Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore cuvée from Bolla is Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Veneto. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of clay and limestone. When perfect physiological ripeness is ensured, the grapes for the Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore are harvested exclusively by hand without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After manual harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in small oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
