Cantina Valpantena Torre del Falasco Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore 2018 75cl

The word 'ripasso' is a good sign on a bottle of Valpolicella. It means that some of dried grape skins left over from the production of Amarone, the incredibly rich and expensive speciality of the region, are added to the fermenting Valpolicella grapes. The word means 're-pass' or 'go over again.' These leftovers add richness and complexity to the wine meaning you get some of that Amarone magic but at a more everyday price. So now you know.
