Traditional fermentation of Valpolicella grapes from the same harvest year. The wine is then fermented again together with the pulp obtained after pressing the Amarone. This method is called 'Ripasso' because the grapes go through the fermentation process one more time. This causes the wine to gain enormous flavor and structure. After fermentation, 50% of the wine matures for 8 months in tonneaux (large oak barrels), the other 50% in stainless steel tanks.
