| Harvesting Period | Manual, from the middle of September depending on the climate and the variety of the grape. |
| Vinification | The grapes are destemmed and crushed and transferred to steel fermenters where maceration and fermentation of the must begins at a controlled temperature of below 25° C for about 7/15 days. At this point, the wine destined to become Valpolicella Superiore Doc will be stored in steel tanks to be subsequently subjected in January/February to the practice of “RIPASSO”, i.e. a re-fermentation on the residual marc from the vinification of Amarone della Valpolicella or Recioto della Valpolicella wines. |
| Refining | After refermentation, the wine suitable for becoming Valpolicella Ripasso is left to mature in wooden barrels for several months where there is a natural micro-oxygenation with stabilisation of the colour and evolution of the aromatic component. The ageing phase ends in the bottle placed horizontally for 3 months where the formation of the bouquet is completed. |
