Varietal: 70% Corvina and Corvinone Veronese, 25% Rondinella, 5% Croatina and Oseleta
Tasting Notes: This Valpolicella Ripasso from the Fornaser family comes from the terraced single vineyard la Traversagna , which is located next to the Monte Faustino vineyard. For the Ripasso, the must is mixed with the Amarone pomace for a while to get its aromas and additional depth in the Valpolicella. It has magnificent density, power, depth and perfect balance. The Traversagna is certainly one of the very best Ripasso wines available.Â
