Fattori Valpolicella Ripasso

From 12 hectars located in Bastia, exactly on the valley between the Val d’Alpone and Val d’Illasi. The shaley clay – subalkaline land, is formed in a broad plateau with slight slopes, produced by the alteration of limestone formations and in particular the white and red scales.  Altitude: 450m (1,350 ft.) above sea level.

Ripasso is the traditional method where the Valpolicella wine is re-macereted on the must from the dried Amarone grapes. The wine is aged in 500/1000 lt oak barrels for 18 months.
