Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOP by Zyme is made in a Ripasso style, with a second fermentation, about 15 days, in January on the skins of Amarone. The wine then ages at least 2 years in large Slavonian oak barrels, followed by 6 months in the bottle.
This Italian red is medium ruby red, tending towards garnet with ageing; on the nose the wine expresses notes of ripe cherry, morello cherry, and semi-dried plum. On the palate it is smooth and seductive, with an appealing sapidity and impressions of ripe fruit and spice.
Ideal food pairing: accompanies cold cuts, medium-aged cheeses, soups and lighter meats.
