The grapes are traditionally harvested by hand, and the Ripasso method gives the wine extra depth by refermenting it on Amarone pomace, adding richness, aromatic complexity, and a more substantial structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIdeal with roasted meats, grilled lamb, braised beef, game, and mature hard cheeses.
