Rich. Velvety. A classic with depth and soul.
From the heart of Valpolicella, Montindon Valpolicella Ripasso is a wine that balances approachability and complexity, offering a bridge between the lighter Valpolicella wines and the grandeur of Amarone. Crafted using the Ripasso method, the young Valpolicella is refermented on the residual Amarone skins, enhancing body, texture, and depth while retaining freshness and vibrancy.
In the glass, it reveals a deep ruby red with garnet highlights, offering aromas of ripe red cherries, plums, subtle spices, and dried herbs. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with smooth tannins, lively acidity, and a lingering finish that blends fruit, spice, and a touch of earthiness. This Ripasso captures the essence of the Valpolicella hills, offering a wine that is expressive yet refined.
For Irish wine lovers, Montindon Valpolicella Ripasso pairs beautifully with roasted meats, rich pasta dishes, and aged cheeses, delivering a taste of northern Italian tradition that feels both indulgent and accessible. It’s perfect for everyday enjoyment or special dinners, bringing a touch of Verona to Ireland.
Why we love it:
This is Ripasso at its best — dark, smooth, and layered with flavour. Montindon’s version is generous without being heavy, making it a go-to for those who want a touch of Amarone character at a more accessible level. Pure comfort in a glass.
