Amarone is a wine made for those who love to appear. Those who are not satisfied with a good bottle but seek only the best. But, it must be said, Amarone often runs the risk of being overdone. Difficult to match and too concentrated to be placed at the centre of a fine table setting. This is why many prefer a good Ripasso to Amarone for a convivial occasion. Like this one proposed by the historic winery in Marano di Valpolicella, which, by the way, is labelled as Classico, i.e. produced with grapes from the best area of Valpolicella, and Superiore, which identifies a wine of superior quality (and a slightly higher alcohol content than the standard). The Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Classico Superiore Collezione Pruviniano, offered here in a generous magnum version, is made from 60% Corvina, 15% Corvinone and Rondinella grapes and a mix of other authorised grapes for a total of 10%. In the glass it has a satisfying ruby red colour. The nose is characterised by a fine, fruity aroma. In the mouth, it is appropriately warm, thanks to the alcohol present and well integrated. Full-bodied, persistent, it has lively tannins and a pleasant aftertaste of dried fruit, nuts and toasted almonds. Serve it at room temperature but not too hot. The result will simply be guaranteed. A success!
