About Vantorosso Valpolicella Ripasso

After several years as a racing driver and after winning several prizes, he decided to combine his passion for motor racing with winemaking. On this adventure he would be helped by Franco Allegrini (friend and owner of Allegrini Estates). Thanks to him, a great connoisseur of Valpolicella wines, the racing driver Vanni Pasquali would start making wines in this region of Verona, in the north of Italy. This project was consolidated in the Vantorosso cellars, where wines such as Vantorosso Valpolicella Ripasso are produced.

Vantorosso Valpolicella Ripasso is a red wine from D.O.C. Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore. In the Italian Veneto region, one of the most prestigious wines in Italy under this denomination of origin is produced by re-fermenting the marc brandy of the famous Amarone wines (red wines made from raisined grapes). With this process, wines are obtained with lots of alcohol and lots of phenolic substances.

NowPasquali and Allegrini continue this tradition from Fumane, a town located in the area of Ca' Nova, in the Valpolicella Classica. There in the valleys, the vineyards are spread out at 350-400 meters above sea level and arranged in southeastern-facing terraces. The cool breeze from the north and the warm winds of Lake Garda influence the climate of this area, where varieties such as Corvina Veronese, Corvinone and Rondinella are cultivated. The vines, pruned in simple guyot, grow on very varied soils, mostly clayey, calcareous and rich in skeletons (stones and rocks).

The grapes are harvested by hand during the last ten days of September. After harvesting, the grapes are dried naturally for 100 to 120 days. As occurs with Pedro Ximenez, this dehydration causes an increase in the amount of sugar. After destemming and pressing at high pressures, the Vantorosso Valpolicella Ripasso must is placed in stainless steel tanks where, after fermenting at a controlled temperature for about 25 days, the wine known as Amarone della Valpolicella is obtained. Re-fermenting the skins of this wine is how the Vantorosso Valpolicella Ripasso will finally be obtained.

Finally, Vantorosso Amarone della Valpolicella will be aged for 15 months in oak barrels and another 7 months in bottle. The essence of D.O.C. Valpolicella Classico in its purest form.
