WINE MAKING PROCESS
Le Ville di Antanè Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is produced using the traditional Ripasso method, which involves a second fermentation of the young Valpolicella Superiore wine on the lees and skins of Amarone. This process typically lasts for about three days at elevated temperatures. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 14 months in a combination of small barriques and larger traditional barrels. The winery, a family-owned estate, employs modern winemaking techniques alongside a commitment to sustainable practices and the use of indigenous grape varieties. The wine is released two years after the harvest.
