Campagnola Valpolicella ‘Ripasso’ Doc Cl is a distinguished Italian red wine hailing from the Veneto region, specifically crafted using the ripasso method, a technique that involves re-fermenting young Valpolicella wine on the grape skins left over from Amarone production. This process enhances the body and flavor complexity, introducing richer and deeper notes compared to standard Valpolicella wines. Predominantly made from Corvina grapes, with small portions of Rondinella and Molinara, this wine benefits from the unique terroir, known for its mix of clay and limestone soils which impart mineral qualities. Aging is partially conducted in oak barrels, helping develop its refined tannins and subtle vanilla undertones. Known for its excellent structure, Campagnola has garnered praise for providing exceptional quality within its category, making it a favored choice for both casual enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
