Monte Tondo Valpolicella Ripasso DOC 2019

Welcome to an enticing introduction to the enchanting taste of the Monte Tondo Valpolicella Ripasso DOC. As wine enthusiasts, we are often drawn to the rich traditions and distinctive characteristics of Italian wines. This remarkable Ripasso wine is no exception. This exceptional wine hails from the famous Valpolicella region in Northern Italy, renowned for its rich wine tradition and extraordinary production. The Valpolicella Ripasso DOC is the result of a careful selection of grapes and artisanal winemaking techniques. The rich flavor and character of this wine stem from the unique "ripasso" method, where the wine undergoes a second fermentation on the dried grapes of Amarone. This wine is made from a carefully crafted blend of local grape varieties, including a harmonious mix of 70% Corvina and 30% Rondinella. The result is a wine with a unique character and a deep concentration of flavors. This beauty has an alcohol content of 14%, which contributes to the wine's fullness and enhances its aromas and flavors.

Monte Tondo embodies pure tradition. Nestled amidst the hills surrounding Soave, Gino Magnabosco, the winemaker, along with his family, nurtures this passion and continues the rich traditions. The characteristics of Monte Tondo's wines are penetrating aromas and a dry, refreshing taste. The family closely follows the latest developments in viticulture technology for both Soave and Valpolicella. This commitment to improvement not only ensures the highest quality of wines but also reflects the unique terroir in a striking way. The challenges are numerous: the volcanic soil not only gives the wine a wealth of aromas but is also porous and must sometimes be 'repaired' when rain threatens to wash away the upper layer of the hill. On 32 hectares of vineyards, spread across the best locations that the Soave zone has to offer, we find Monte Tenda, Monte Foscarino, and of course, Monte Tondo itself (from which the winery takes its name). These locations are responsible for the unmistakably intense aromas of the wine, with a bouquet ranging from floral to fruity, accompanied by a distinctive taste.
