Since 1920, Bennati has specialised in Valtramigna wines by continuously innovating and evolving to produce prestigious red and white wines. Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Sfojà is the result of the harvest of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes, vinified and kept in stainless steel until January. Once the dried Amarone grapes are pressed, the Ripasso Sfojà is ripened on top of them, i.e. it is placed in contact with the pressed Amarone marc and fermented for a second time, acquiring richness and complexity. Finally, the wine matures in small oak barrels and is then bottled. In the glass it is a deep ruby red colour with bright purplish hints. It has intense powerful and elegant aromas reminiscent of ripe berries and spices, enriched by slightly balsamic nuances. The intense, full-bodied palate is satisfying and velvety, reminiscent of (red) berry fruit. With good richness and length, it is a wine that never tires, enticing on the palate and perfect to be drunk as a pairing with red meat dishes, but also to be brought to the table every day.
