It's made with the year's wine which is fermented a second time with the marcs (leftover skins etc) of the dried Amarone and Recioto grapes, for 5\/7 days.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePier Paolo Antolini and his brother Stefano took over their family vineyard in the early 90s on the hills Marano, San Pietro in Cariano and Negrar in Valpolicella.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 'Marogne', terraced vineyards cover some 7 hectares and are interspersed with olive and cherry trees. You find these scents immediately in the wines when you uncork a bottle! Their wines are in some ways modern being very bright and full of delicious fruity corvina aromas. However, natural farming and wild yeasts give these wines a genuine sense of identity. Although they aim for body and fullness of flavour. The brothers use very little new oak and the wines are very fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antolini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55345527554433,"sku":null,"price":26.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/1509\/3540\/files\/IMG_5158.heic?v=1771242650","url":"https:\/\/curio.wine\/products\/2022-valpolicella-ripasso","provider":"curio.wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
