Description
A warm, inviting, richly fruity nose, with aromas of fresh morello cherry, ripe plum and hints of dried fruits. The palate is similarly full-flavoured with concentrated, crunchy black cherry, brown spice and vanilla notes and a hint of liquorice. The long finish has the classic bitter cherry fruit finish typical of ripasso.
At Montresor’s ‘Capitel della Crosara’ vineyard on the hills of Negrar, within the Classico zone, Grapes are picked by hand in October. Made using the Ripasso method, which involves adding the unpressed skins from the dried grapes which were used to make an Amarone wine. This helps to add extra flavour and alcohol to the wine (causing it to start re-fermenting) and gradually the luscious flavours of Amarone are imparted to the wine. After this the wine is aged for 12 months in French and American oak casks.
