Astoria Ripasso : A Rich & Complex Italian Red with Depth

Astoria Valpolicella Ripasso is a refined and elegant expression of the Veneto region’s famous Ripasso style. Made from Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes, this wine undergoes the Ripasso method, where Valpolicella wine is "repassed" over the dried grape skins of Amarone, adding depth, body, and complexity. This technique enhances the wine’s structure and imparts a rich, velvety character that sets it apart.

On the nose, Astoria Valpolicella Ripasso offers enticing aromas of ripe red cherries, blackberries, and plums, complemented by notes of dried herbs, spices, and a hint of vanilla from aging in oak barrels. The palate is smooth and balanced, with medium-bodied richness, featuring flavors of dark fruit, cocoa, and a touch of earthiness, supported by firm tannins and a persistent finish.

This wine is an excellent companion for roasted meats, pasta with rich sauces, or hard cheeses, making it a versatile choice for various meals. Its complexity also makes it a wonderful wine to enjoy on its own.
