Zeni Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC

Grapes are hand-picked, followed by initial fermentation. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation (Ripasso technique) over Amarone grape skins, followed by 10-12 months ageing in oak barrels and short refinement in stainless steel. Bottled at 14% ABV in a 750ml bottle with approximately 8.6 g/L residual sugar. The profile is powerful and velvety with black cherry and spice notes.
