Method of
Production
After a careful selection of Valpolicella grapes with
high sugar content, vinification takes place with the
“Ganimede” system where the grape skins and wine
are continuously mixed in order to extract color and
tannins. During the winter, Valpolicella wine is passed
over the skins remaining from the production of
Amarone using the traditional “Ripasso” tecnique,
wich increases the alcohol, body and perfumes of the
wine. The resulting wine is aged partly in stainless
steel and partly in oak wood casks for 12 months.
Tasting Notes Castelforte Valpolicella Ripasso is a dry and fullbodied wine, with a complex perfume of cherries, red
fruits and spices. It’s the ideal match for roast and
grilled red meats, stews and mature cheeses
