Odino Vaona Ripasso della Valpolicella Pegrandi DOC 2023

Grape Varietals & Region:A classic Valpolicella blend of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara. The vineyards are owned by the Vaona family, located in the hills of the Classic Valpolicella area, at an altitude of about 200-250 metres above sea level. The vines are planted on alluvial soil on calcareous basalts, favored by an excellent exposure

Taste Profile: Deep ruby red tending towards burgundy red with aging. Aromas of intense red fruits of stewed cheeries and red currants, with undertones of clove & cinnamon spices. The structure is well balanced, with dense and well-combined tannins of excellent structure

Winemaking Process:The fruit undergoes a fermentation process of 15-18 days, which produces the base wine for Ripasso. In the month of March, after the vinification of Amarone Pegrandi, the base wine is left to re-ferment, partly on its own slightly rinsed marcs. Thus, a wine with a rich body and a strong personality is obtained. The wine then matures for 12 months in medium-sized wood barrels (10-15 hl), followed by an additional period of 4 months in bottles
