Le Crosare Ripasso from Cantine Lenotti - Powerful Red Wine with Amarone Skins Le Crosare Ripasso from Cantine Lenotti undergoes a special production method involving a second fermentation, in which Amarone skins are added. This gives the wine more color, flavor, and strength. Le Crosare has a deep red color and aromas of ripe red fruit. The taste is spicy, full, and velvety, with a lingering finish. Ripasso is often called the little brother of Amarone and offers excellent value.

Top Red Wine from Lenotti Winery in Northern Italy

This beautiful wine comes from the renowned Lenotti winery, founded in 1906. Lenotti has an excellent reputation in the Veneto region of northern Italy and is located in the famous wine village of Bardolino, west of Lake Garda. The grapes for the Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso Le Crosare are grown in the hills surrounding the villages of Fumane, Negrar, and Valgatara. The soil consists of limestone and clay, deposited by rivers and glaciers. The Valpolicella region is also known as "The Pearl of Verona."

Production process Lenotti Valpolicella Ripasso Le Crosare

The term "Superiore" designates wines aged in oak for at least one year and with an alcohol content of at least 12%. "Le Crosare" means this wine is produced in limited quantities using select grapes. The Ripasso technique involves the young wine undergoing a secondary fermentation in January or February by adding Amarone skins, which are produced from raisined grapes during this period. This gives Le Crosare more color, flavor, and strength. Aging in oak for at least 12 months adds refinement. This delicious wine has a deep red color and aromas of ripe cherries. It pairs perfectly with roasts, grilled meats, or a cheese platter.
