Corte Sant’Alda 2019 Valpolicella Ripasso ‘Campi Magri’ Veneto

Made from the classic blend of grapes led by Corvina and aged in the traditional cherry wood casks, the Campi Magri doesn’t lean on sweetness as heavily as other ripasso. It has a drier and more refined expression, tempered a touch by age, making this a medium-bodied complex red, a lovely pairing with grilled or braised meats. Ripasso wines are produced from an ancient method of passing fresh juice over the pomace of the previous Amarone vintage (grapes are partially dried).
