From our sommeliers
Begali's Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore 'La Cengia' is produced between Pedemonte and the hills of Castelrotto, among the cherry trees in the village of Cengia. The name derives from the characteristic rocks that give the wine its aromatic richness. Vinified in steel until March, it referments on Amarone pomace and then matures for a year in large barrels. The nose reveals ripe cherry, cinnamon and dried violet. The palate is bold and smooth, with a full structure. Perfect with red meat or even with an Amarone risotto
Colour:
Ruby red with garnet reflections
Scent:
Ripe red fruit such as cherries preserved in alcohol, then cinnamon and dried violets
Taste:
Decisive yet soft, enveloping, with subtle tannins
