Facts about the wine
About this wine
Le Crosare Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a full-bodied, dry red from the Valpolicella Classico area, made with Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara. The ripasso process adds depth and structure, bringing ripe cherry, plum, spice, cocoa and a gentle dried-fruit note. Its lively acidity provides balance to the wine’s generous alcohol and richness, though details may vary by vintage.
