131
Q

Why can’t we find Ripasso labeled wines (except Masi) between 1988 and 2006?

A
  • Masi registering the term as a trademark in 1988. Other Valpolicella producers protested and used other labeling terms to describe the process, such as rigoverno and doppia fermentazione. In 2006, the right to use the ripasso term was granted, and a separate DOC for the style became independent from the Valpolicella DOC in 2010.
132
Q

How a Ripasso is produced?

A
  • The leftover pomace of Amarone or Recioto, which has some remaining sugars, is added to a young Valpolicella wine to start refermentation—something akin to the traditional governo in Tuscany.
  • In some cases, the grapes are not previously used, and they are partially dried for about a month—essentially a shortened version of Amarone’s appassimento process.
  • The wine is made using a combination of fresh and dried grapes, with about 70% crushed and fermented normally and about 30% dried and added to the base wine to start a second fermentation.

** As long as the wine is put in the same tank with Amarone pomace for a few days, it meets the requirement for Valpolicella Ripasso.

  • The volume of ripasso created by the process cannot be more than twice the volume of the Amarone or Recioto della Valpolicella obtained from the same must.
