Domini Veneti Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Torbae 2023

Domini Veneti Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Torbae 2023 is a richly textured Venetian red that brings extra depth and polish to the classic Valpolicella style. Made from Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grown in the elevated hills of Torbe, it offers the balance of fresh red fruit, spice and subtle power that makes Ripasso such a compelling category. As a style with deep roots in Veneto winemaking, Ripasso has long been prized for adding complexity and body while keeping the wine approachable and food-friendly.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a vivid ruby-red color with good concentration. The nose is layered and inviting, with ripe cherry, dark berry fruit, dried herbs and a gentle touch of spice and warmth from the Ripasso method. On the palate, the wine is round and supple, combining juicy red fruit with notes of plum, cocoa and sweet spice, supported by moderate structure and a smooth, lingering finish. The high-hill fruit from Torbe helps preserve freshness, giving the wine lift and balance. It should drink well now and can develop additional complexity over the next few years.

Production
This wine comes from vineyards in the higher hills of Torbe, where cooler conditions and well-exposed slopes help the grapes ripen with both concentration and freshness. The blend of Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella is harvested carefully and then vinified in the Ripasso style, where the young Valpolicella is refermented on the pomace from Amarone production. This traditional process adds body, aromatic intensity and extra depth to the finished wine.

Food & Serving
A natural match for grilled meats, roasted chicken, pork, mushroom dishes and rich pastas, especially those with tomato, herbs or aged cheese. Serve slightly below room temperature, ideally around 16-18°C, and decanting for about 20-30 minutes can help open up the aromas and soften the wine’s texture.
