Monte Faustino di Fornaser Valpolicella Ripasso Class. Sup. La Traversagna doc 2020 0,75l

Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore La Traversagna from Monte Faustino is sourced from the terraced single vineyard La Traversagna beside the Monte Faustino cru. After the first fermentation the young Valpolicella is refermented on Amarone skins, gaining extra depth, body and complexity. The nose offers ripe cherry, dark berries and hints of dried fruit, joined by sweet spice and a touch of leather. On the palate the wine is full‑bodied, warm and richly textured, yet remains harmonious. Velvety tannins and balanced acidity support the generous fruit. The long finish recalls black cherry, cocoa and savoury spice, making this a serious Ripasso for braised meats, roasted game and mature cheeses.

Monte Faustino di Fornaser

High above the Adige valley in Veneto, the terraced slopes of Monte Faustino di Fornaser rise in San Pietro in Cariano—stone walls and vines shaped side by side over generations. The family’s first vineyard still sets the tone: small, steep, and worked by hand where machines don’t belong....

The grape variety: Corvina

Corvina is the leading red grape for many Valpolicella and Bardolino wines. It brings cherry, fresh acidity, herbs, spice and elegant structure.
