Col de la Bastia Valpolicella DOC Ripasso Magnum

Col de la Bastia Valpolicella DOC Ripasso Magnum

The Col de la Bastia Valpolicella DOC Ripasso from the Azienda Agricola Fattori is a high-quality dry red wine made from the extraordinary grapes grown in the vineyards located in the Bastia area, the watershed between Val d'Alpone and Val d'Illasi, in the heart of Valpolicella, a hilly area situated in the northwestern part of the province of Verona.

Valpolicella is a wine that is made from a blend of grapes coming from different vineyards, the most important of which is Corvina (65%); there are also Rondinella (10%), Corvinone (15%), and other non-essential vineyards which appear in various percentages, up to a maximum overall of 25% and with a maximum of 10% for each variety.

The peculiarity of the Ripasso lies in the processing method: before aging in barrel, the Valpolicella wine is poured directly into the tanks where the Amarone has previously been pressed, leaving it there to rest, in contact with the freshly pressed pomace, for a period ranging from 15 to 20 days. In this way, the wine absorbs some of the aroma characteristic of Amarone from the dried pomace, thus creating a new wine that is distinctly unique.

This still red wine is characterized by a very dark ruby red color. The aroma, which is entirely characteristic, is wine-like and presents aromatic notes reminiscent of cherry and small red berries. The flavor, on the other hand, is velvety and full-bodied, delicately tannic and balanced, presenting fresh notes of red fruits and, sometimes, an aftertaste of toasted, tobacco, and vanilla.

This is the Magnum bottle which contains 1500ml of sparkling wine, perfect for those occasions when the company is larger.
