Begali Lorenzo Valpolicella doc Classico Superiore Ripasso 2020

Begali Lorenzo Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso 2020 is a beautifully crafted expression of the Ripasso style, made with fruit and winemaking that sit firmly in premium territory. What sets it apart is the use of the estate’s own Amarone pomace for the second fermentation, followed by a year of oak ageing, giving the wine extra depth, warmth, and polish. Ripasso has long been one of Valpolicella’s most distinctive traditions, bridging the freshness of the region’s classic reds with the richness and complexity associated with Amarone.

Makuprofiili
In the glass, the wine shows a deep, dark colour that hints at its concentration and ripeness. The nose opens with dark cherries, ripe plums, raisins, balsamic notes, cinnamon, cocoa, and a subtle touch of smoke. On the palate, it is generous and layered, with red berry fruit wrapped in fresh southern herbs and a smooth, silken texture. The oak ageing adds structure and softness without overpowering the fruit, leading to a long, elegant finish. This is a Ripasso with excellent balance and the kind of depth that should allow it to develop nicely over the next few years.

Viininvalmistus
Produced in Valpolicella Classico, Veneto, this wine is made from 65% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, and 5% other local grape varieties. The key step in the production is the Ripasso method, where the wine undergoes a second fermentation on the pomace from the producer’s own Amarone, adding body, flavour, and complexity. After this, it matures for one year in oak barrels, which helps round out the tannins and bring harmony to the finished wine.

Ruoka & tarjoilu
This Ripasso pairs especially well with roasted meats, braised beef, game, rich pasta dishes, mushroom risotto, and mature cheeses. Serve it at around 16-18°C for the best balance of aroma and structure. Decanting for 30-60 minutes is recommended, particularly if enjoyed relatively young, to allow the wine to open fully.
