BUGLIONI
IL BUGIARDO RIPASSO VALPOLICELLA CLASSICO SUPERIORE DOC 2020
Product’s description
Dark ruby red colour. Intense and elegant aromas of ripe fruit and spices, with a slight scent of vanilla and tobacco.Persistent and warm taste, velvety and harmonic.
Harvest: selection and manual harvesting of grapes at the end of september. Part of the grapes is pressed immediately, and part is left to wither in fruit-drying facilities until november.
Vinification: crushing and pressing of de-stemmed grapes Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 28°C. The must obtained from freshly vinified grapes in september is re-passed
on the Amarone marc in january, following the traditional “ripasso” technique, and undergoes a second fermentation. The grapes left to wither are vinified in november and macerated in
contact with the skins for 20 days. The two wines – ripasso, and the wine obtained from withered grapes - are then assembled together. Malolactic fermentation.
Ageing: the wine is aged in tonneaux and 50 hl casks for 12 months. It is then left to mature further 6 months in the bottle before sale.
Pairings: grilled fine red meat, chateaubriand and beef fillet, risotto with Ripasso, medium-high aged cheeses. Its slender shape helps cleanse the palate when combined with stews,
ragù or with the classic Veronese boiled meats.
