Luigi Righetti Ripasso Selezione 2021

Tasting Notes

This is Luigi Righetti’s premium Ripasso, a selection of the best Valpolicella grapes macerated for 14 days on the pressings from the Amarone. The sugars in the Amarone skins trigger a second fermentation, boosting the alcohol a bit and contributing rich, dried fruit flavours to the finished wine. It is then aged in small oak barrels for smoothness and added notes of vanilla and spice

Incredibly food friendly, this is a supple, round, charming wine ideal for grilled steak, duck braised lamb or venison. You will find aromas of cherry, sweet spice, raspberry jam and leather in this dry, long-finishing wine. Drink now and over the next 4 years. 13.8% alc.

Food Pairings
