Only Once

The Valpolicella Ripasso “Una volta sola” is produced following the historic method, summarized by the dialect expression “'na olta sola a la vecia maniera” (just once, the old-fashioned way). It is obtained by "re-passing" a light Valpolicella over the Amarone pomace in a 1:1 ratio. It retains the cherry notes and drinkability of a Valpolicella, while also expressing complex notes of chocolate and spices, typical of Amarone. The grapes come from the vineyards surrounding Villa Pellegrini, in Romagnano in Valpantena, a valley cooler than the others, characterized by significant temperature fluctuations and the influence of the Lessini Mountains. The label features the Villa and the dolphin fountain located in its gardens.
