'Arusnatico' Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso DOC Valentina Cubi 2017

Arusnatico Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC is a red wine produced by the Valentina Cubi winery. The label is the result of a blend that largely includes Corvina grapes, with an addition of Rondinella grapes. Both native varieties benefit from the rocky soils of the vineyards that boast organic certification. The favorable conditions, given by the microclimate and sun exposure, are optimized by the Guyot and double Pergola cultivation systems. The manual harvest takes place in mid-September with selection of the best bunches. Upon arrival in the cellar, the grapes are left to ferment in steel vats and then to macerate with the Amarone skins for a couple of weeks. The refinement involves the use of oak tonneaux at the second passage, where the wine remains for a year and then rests for another 6 months in the bottle. Excellent immediately, Arusnatico Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC lends itself to a further evolution of 4-5 years.
