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.","brand":"Cordier","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775908941903,"sku":"1648","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/le-crosare-ripasso-cantine-lenotti-valpolicella-classico-superiore_1648.webp?v=1770045883"},{"product_id":"lenotti-amarone-della-valpolicella-classico-2018","title":"Lenotti Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018","description":"Lenotti Amarone della Valpolicella Classico - A Complex and Profound Gem from Italy.

It's practically the little brother of the great Amarone, one of Italy's most renowned, top-quality wines.

The chalky soils are well-ventilated and provide the vines with nutrients. Like Amarone, Valpolicella Ripasso is made from three different grape varieties: Corvina, Molinara, and Rondinella, which are classic Valpolicella varieties. Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, with winemakers paying particular attention to the time of day, harvesting only at sunrise and sunset to avoid the hot sun. Workers place the grapes in small wooden crates, protecting them by not crowding them too tightly. This keeps the grapes for Biscardo Valpolicella Ripasso intact until they arrive at the winery.\n\n\n \nIn the winery, processing takes place as quickly as possible. After a light pressing, Martino begins fermentation. The young and fresh Valpolicella is then aged in stainless steel until early next year. In early February, the special \"Ripasso method\" follows. Grape skins, which were removed during the production of Amarone, are \"pulled\" through the already finished Biscardo Valpolicella Ripasso. This is how the winemakers achieve a kind of \"second fermentation.\" The wine becomes denser, more concentrated, and juicier. The bouquet also develops a much greater variety.

The Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, each containing 30 percent and 10 percent other local red grapes, are sourced from vineyards on the morainic hills of the Valpolicella region.\n\n\n \nAfter manual harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and simultaneously pressed. Alcoholic fermentation then takes place for fifteen days at a controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. At this point, a portion of the wine undergoes slow fermentation at a controlled temperature for eight to ten days on the lees of Amarone and Recioto.

His investments have led to modernization but also to refinement, significantly improving the quality of the wines.

In the wine cellar, the grapes dry in small plastic crates for about three months. Once they have reached perfect dryness, they are pressed and fermented. Temperature-controlled fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. This is followed by fermentation, which lasts about 30 days and ensures a high alcohol content.

The blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella comes from the vineyard of the same name, a site that has been considered one of the region's most exceptional terroirs for decades. Here, structure, elegance, and complexity have fused together to create a wine that has since achieved cult status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"620\" data-start=\"597\" data-section-id=\"14jexaw\"\u003e Vineyards and region\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"1105\" data-start=\"622\"\u003e The grapes come from the southeastern La Grola vineyard, situated on calcareous and clayey soils. This location allows the grapes to benefit from early sunshine and a good temperature variation between day and night. The microclimate plays a key role in ripening, perfectly expressing aromas of ripe fruit and floral notes. The grapes were harvested by hand in the second half of September, with careful selection carried out directly in the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1132\" data-start=\"1107\" data-section-id=\"1nispz6\"\u003e Vinification and maturation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"1536\" data-start=\"1134\"\u003eAfter harvest, the grapes are fermented in stainless steel tanks at temperatures between 20 and 25°C. Fermentation lasts approximately 15 days, with gentle extraction to preserve the finesse and fruitiness. The wine then ages for 16 months, with 50% going into used barriques and 50% into large 85-hectoliter vats. This is followed by a further 10 months of bottle aging before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"398\" data-start=\"375\" data-section-id=\"9tra1w\"\u003e Grape composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"520\" data-start=\"400\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"437\" data-start=\"400\"\u003eCorvina Veronese – La Grola (70%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"440\" data-start=\"437\"\u003e This grape gives body, soft tannins and aromas of black fruit and spices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"614\" data-start=\"522\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"552\" data-start=\"522\"\u003eCorvinone – La Grola (25%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"555\" data-start=\"552\"\u003e Strengthens the structure with extra concentration and elegance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp data-end=\"709\" data-start=\"616\"\u003e \u003cstrong data-end=\"646\" data-start=\"616\"\u003eRondinella – La Grola (5%)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"649\" data-start=\"646\"\u003e Brings freshness, colour stability and subtle floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1888\" data-start=\"1857\" data-section-id=\"1kwabyh\"\u003e Tasting notes and serving suggestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \u003cp data-end=\"2326\" data-start=\"1890\"\u003eThe wine opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and ripe cherries, followed by delicate notes of vanilla, tobacco, and dark chocolate.
