This wine is made by refermenting the juice from the Valpolicella on the warm Amarone grape skins, in the typical Ripasso method, which imparts a rich character and personality to the wine. The grapes for the Ripasso Valpolicella are sourced from three of most prestigious Tommasi vineyards: Conca dOro, La Groletta and De Buris.
