Azienda Agricola Musella Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Corvina Blend 2017

Encompassing more than 1,000 acres of forestland where olive and fruit trees share space with grape vines, this inspiring biodynamic estate is a regional treasure. Often called a “baby” Amarone, Valpolicella Ripasso is a savory delight and a guilty pleasure (especially from Musella; quality/price here is out of this world). This traditional winemaking method dries Corvina grapes for a month then ferments them; then the juice is “ripassato” or macerated with Amarone pomace for added depth and complexity. Dark fruit, leather, spices; fleshy and sweet and very pleasurable.
