Zenato Ripassa della Valpolicella Superiore is a celebrated red wine hailing from the Veneto region of Italy. Made predominantly from Corvina, along with Rondinella and Oseleta grapes, this wine embodies the time-honored Ripasso method, where the Valpolicella base wine is ‘re-passed’ over the dried grape skins of Amarone, enhancing its depth and intensity. This technique imparts the wine with a sumptuous texture and a rich concentration of flavors. The wine is aged in French oak barrels, further contributing to its complexity with nuances of vanilla and spice. Zenato’s commitment to quality has earned this wine numerous accolades and a loyal following among wine enthusiasts worldwide.
