Flavs Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC (Veneto Region) ABV 14.5% - 75cl

TASTING NOTES

Rich nose of dark cherry, blackberry, dry prune and figs. Notes of tobacco and chocolate too. The same aromas are reflected on the palate which is full of body and fruity. Spectacular softness. Sweet, long and complex finish.

WINEMAKING NOTES

This wine was made using the traditional 'ripasso' method. The grapes were fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks at 23°-25°C for 8 days. Once fermentation was completed, a second fermentation took place on the skins of the Amarone giving the wine more body and depth. Then the wine refined in French oak barriques for 12 months and a least for another 12 in the bottle.
