Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Doc Superiore “Catullo” by Bertani

A perfect example of a Valpolicella Superiore style from masters Bertani. Juicy and flavourful but approachable and soft, with a great spice kick and crowd-pleasing fruit that would surely please the legendarily hedonistic poet.

Winemaking: classic ripasso technique taking place in March, using grapeskins from grapes dried in the Amarone process. One year in barriques, one year in concrete vats before 6 months in bottle prior to release.

Assemblage: Corvina Veronese 70%, Corvinone 20%, Rondinella 10%.

Soil: chalk, marl and limestone.

Alcohol: 13.5%.

Colour: ruby-purple, with a grainy red hue.

Aroma: fresh candied cherry, with mixed peppercorns and vanilla notes.

Palate: medium bodied, with refreshing acidity and a soft but detectable tannic bite. Strong dark plum flavours, with a Maraschino edge and a hint of cocoa.

Ageability: great now, and for the next year or two it should retain its freshness.

Pairing: bigger primi, not to mention a terrific hamburger or a barbecue.
