Description: Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso is born from the fermentation of Valpolicella in the barrels composed of the skin and pulp from Amarone. The contact between Valpolicella wine and Amarone creates a wine that gives subtle notes that characterize Amarone. The wine is bright ruby in color, with aromas of red apple skins, rose petals, and cherry cigar box. This is a medium-bodied wine with a lovely balance of well integrated tannins. Notes of cherry-cigar box, green peppercorn, and dried cranberries.
In 1928, Renzo Cesari purchases Brigaldara. With his son Lamberto, he specializes in viticulture with love and passion. The greatest impulse takes place in the 80s, when the direction passes into the hands of Stefano, Renzo's grandson, who starts a long-lasting collaboration with Roberto Ferrarini, perhaps one of the most important innovators in the history of Amarone and Valpolicella. In 1997, Brigaldara's Amarone is awarded for the first time the Tre Bicchieri Gambero Rosso.
