The Valpolicella Ripasso Malavoglia is a cuv\u00e9e of 70% Corvina, 20% Corvinone and joint 10% Rondinella and Molinara. The grapes for this come from the classic heartland of Valpolicella. There, the soils are mainly calcareous-loamy, with tufa and stony-skeletal soils that give the wines great freshness, elegance and longevity. The vineyards are located in the hills at an altitude of between 150 and 300 metres above sea level and have an east\/south-east orientation. The grape harvest usually begins in the last ten days of August and lasts until the end of September.<\/p>\n
\u201cRipasso\u201d ist eine uralte Technik, bei der der Valpolicella-Wein auf den gepressten Schalen der Amarone- und Recioto-Weine erneut vergoren wird. Die vergorenen Schalen sind reich an Farbe, Aroma und Zucker und starten so eine zweite G\u00e4rung des Valpolicellas. Nach der G\u00e4rung wird der Wein in 2000 und 3000 Liter gro\u00dfen Eichenf\u00e4ssern f\u00fcr 18 Monate lang ausgebaut.<\/p>\n

With intense brilliance, the wine shines in the goblet and exudes its intense perfume of pickled griottines, small sour cherries, sour cherries and fruity tart wild berries such as cranberries and elderberries. Elegant and transparent, its aromas unfold layer by layer, followed by spicy notes of spicebox, sandalwood, white pepper with its citrus overtones and black cardamom. Tart notes of green walnuts as well as toasty hazelnut shells give it contour, format and attitude.<\/p>\n

On the nose, the 2020 Malavoglia Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore from Ca la Bionda shows its aristocratic side. The tannin is transparent and silky, tightly woven, taut and close-meshed, yet filigree. Aromatically, it supports the tart accents of the cherry fruit and ties in with the light core tone, which gives it additional drinking fluency. This enormous delicacy is fuelled by the fine acidity, which acts like a prompter in the background, but is indispensable for the overall spectacle. A delicate Ripasso, dancing with great lightness and perspective.<\/p>\n
