Produced in the famous Valpolicella region of northern Italy, Ripasso wines are internationally recognised for combining the freshness of Valpolicella with some of the richness and concentration associated with Amarone. The traditional Ripasso method involves re-fermenting Valpolicella wine on the skins left from Amarone production, adding extra flavour, texture, body, and complexity while maintaining balance and drinkability.
Aristocratico Valpolicella Ripasso is crafted using traditional Veneto grape varieties including Corvina, Rondinella, and Corvinone. Corvina contributes vibrant cherry fruit and structure, Rondinella adds softness and floral notes, while Corvinone enhances body and spice complexity. The Ripasso process creates a wine with concentrated dark fruit flavours, warming richness, and smooth tannins while remaining approachable and versatile.
Its rich and refined profile has helped make Aristocratico Valpolicella Ripasso increasingly popular among customers searching for Ripasso online, Italian wine Ireland, wine Dublin Ireland, and wine delivery Ireland.
