In the heart of Valpolicella, a land dedicated to excellent viticulture, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC Biologico Monteci is born, a wine that expresses tradition, passion and respect for the land.

Produced from native grapes grown according to the principles of organic farming, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC Monteci expresses a perfect balance between tradition and sustainability. A respectful approach to the land allows us to obtain genuine grapes, capable of restoring all the aromatic richness of the Veronese terroir.

Ripasso, from which this wine takes its name, is an ancient technique, born from peasant wisdom and human ingenuity, to make the most of every part of the harvest. Monteci has reinterpreted it with rigour and originality: Valpolicella is refermented in contact with the pomace of dried grapes already used for the production of Amarone and Recioto. This step gives the wine greater structure, complexity and aromatic intensity, making it an authentic and powerful expression of the territory.

This process, combined with ageing in oak barrels for at least 24 months, gives the wine greater structure, intensity and aromatic complexity, expressed in a bouquet of red fruit aromas, floral scents and pleasant spicy notes.

Monteci’s Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC Biologico has an intense red colour with garnet reflections and a full, full-bodied taste.

An ideal wine for those seeking authenticity and quality, in a bottle that tells the story of the beauty of Valpolicella, without compromise.
