Produced by Scriani, a family estate rooted in the heart of Valpolicella Classico, this Ripasso reflects a long local tradition of layering structure and depth through refermentation on Amarone skins. The vineyards lie on the zone’s historic hillside slopes north of Verona, where limestone-rich soils and good drainage naturally favor balance and freshness. Elevation and cooling breezes from the Lessini Mountains temper the region’s warmth, extending the growing season and preserving aromatic clarity. The 2012 Ripasso della Valpolicella Classico Superiore captures the intersection of technique and place, expressing Valpolicella’s terroir through added dimension rather than sheer weight.
