Vintage 2021
From the vintage reports of the Consorzio Tutela Vini Valpolicella
A changeable year that ended well: a dry September gave healthy grapes.
A changeable season with late flowering and a dry September that gave healthy grapes.
March was very dry; April and May brought about 210 mm, close to normal, and June almost none. July to September had about 200 mm, some 50 mm below the average. Flowering came about ten days late and veraison about nine days late. Downy mildew needed precise work in May and June, and powdery mildew caused modest damage in a few sensitive spots. Dry weather in September kept botrytis away, and picking began around 15 September.
Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore “Caparbio” by Piccoli
Vinification: The Ripasso is elaborated using conventional technique, which consists of bringing the grapes of Valpolicella wines in contact with the grape skins of Amarone. This is where the term “pass” comes from. This process lasts between ten to twenty days during which it allows the transfer of sugar, colour, polyphenolic substances and softness. Daily “remontage” is carried out and the fermentation temperatures never exceed 20°C.
Ageing: The wine is refined in 3,5 to 5hl French oak for at least 2 years before bottle.
Released after 6 months in bottle.
Food pairings: Wine of medium structure, it will be ideal the whole meal because of its freshness.
It could accompany risotto, medium aged cheeses or savoury dishes.
Wine tasting Colour: Intense ruby red colour with purple reflections.
Bouquet: Very floral with red berries such as raspberry and blackberry.
Palate: Elegant, smooth and very fruity. Well-balanced with spicy touch. Soft tannins with plenty of freshness. Long after taste.

Veronica and Alice oversee a hillside estate their family has tended for more than sixty years, applying a “zero‑centimetre” philosophy, every decision begins with the soil beneath their feet. Each bunch is clipped by hand; the best are laid in small crates on the loft’s open floor, where mountain air slowly dries the grapes for Amarone and Recioto.
The cellar itself is an old tuff quarry carved into rock. Its natural insulation keeps temperature and humidity steady, so fermentation can proceed cool and clean in stainless‑steel tanks, never above 20 °C. Gravity moves must and skins gently, preserving the grapes’ own aromas. After a brief rest in steel, wines mature in medium and large French oak for anywhere from one to ten years, gaining depth through slow micro‑oxygenation.
Above the quarry a green roof of vines crowns the structure, uniting vineyard and winery and reducing environmental impact. Guided by the example of their parents, Daniela and Tiziano, the sisters craft Valpolicella wines that honour local varieties, the limestone‑rich slopes, and a tradition of patience that begins long before harvest and ends only when a bottle is opened.
