The Ripasso method gives the wine extra depth, as the Valpolicella Superiore is refermented over the Amarone pomace at the end of December. This provides more color, body, and spicy richness, without losing the juicy cherry fruit of Veneto.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVineyards and region\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe grapes come from hilly vineyards in Valpolicella, a classic red wine region in Veneto.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e• \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLocation \/ Origin:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e The vineyards are located at an altitude of 150–300 m in Valpolicella.
