TASTING NOTES

Production

The Zenato family’s journey into the world of wine began in 1960 when Sergio followed his intuition to take a chance and believe in the vineyards of the Santa Cristina estate in the renowned Lugana wine-growing region, straddling Sirmione and Peschiera along the southern shore of Lake Garda. Following the immediate success of their Turbiana-based whites, the Zenato family began planting and producing red wines in the nearby Valpolicella region using Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta, achieving great success here too. Today, this success is reflected in 95 hectares of vineyards across Lugana, Valpolicella and an estate in Bolgheri, Tuscany. Ripasso Superiore Ripassa is a dry red wine resulting from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Oseleta from the estates in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella. This wine is produced through the second fermentation of Valpolicella Classico wine on the dried-out pomace of Amarone to achieve greater colour, body and aromas. The wine is then aged in French oak tonneaux for 18–20 months and in the bottle for a further 6 months. E(100 ml) 341 kJ / 81 kcal

Occasion and Pairing

A Veneto red to enjoy every day with red meat and game dishes. Cheeses, cured meats and traditional Venetian dishes.

Serving Temperature

After the end of the First World War, Cesare Zucchetto, a pharmacist from Valdobbiadene, Veneto, decided he wanted to help rebuild the exhausted region. Combining his passion for wine and viticulture with his knowledge of chemistry, he started his cultivation from a vineyard in the surrounding hills, in Cartizze Alto. The first product was a Prosecco of unbelievable quality, initially appreciated by families in the Veneto region and soon also outside the region. The actual expansion came with his son Paolo, who started cultivating new vineyards in the Valdobbiadene area and producing excellent sparkling wines using the Metodo Martinotti. Gradually, the winery's products began to be recognised and known internationally, also thanks to the spread of knowledge and general appreciation of Prosecco. Today, the vineyards are in the hands of Paolo, while his son Carlo Alberto is in charge of the winemaking, and he applies all his obsession for perfection in the production of wines of the best possible quality. Name and address of producer/distributor: Zucchetto Paolo - Via Cima, 16 – 31049, San Pietro di Barbozza di Valdobbiadene (TV). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
