Tinazziâs Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is part of its Collezione di Famiglia portfolio. This wine is made in the Ripasso style with the finished Valpolicella wine âpassed overâ the pomace (grape skins, seeds and pulp) left over from the recent fermentation of the estateâs Amarone wine. The process of adding (or ârepassingâ) the lighter Valpolicella wine over the remainders of the âbiggerâ Amarone wine adds additional richness and depth to the original Valpolicella wine. The process has proved so successful and Ripasso wines have become so popular that Ripasso was awarded its own DOC in 2007. . The Superiore designation indicates that the wine has been aged for at least one year and has a minimum alcohol level of 12 percent. The minimum ageing and alcohol requirements create a more complex and engaging wine than regular Valpolicella with more prominent aromas, evolved flavors and greater texture. . Tinazziâs Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is a traditional Valpolicella blend of primarily Corvina with some Rondinella and Corvinone from selected estate vineyards. The grapes are macerated and fermented at controlled temperatures. At the end of December, the wine is âpassed-overâ the pomace of the estateâs recently-fermented Amarone where it undergoes a second fermentation and acquires more body and complexity.
