Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore Torbae di Negrar Domini Veneti was born in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica, in the hills of Negrar, in the locality of Torbe. It is a blend of 60% Corvina, 15% Corvinone, and 15% Rondinella; other permitted varieties make up the remaining 10%. Situated at 300-420 meters above sea level, facing south-east, on land composed mainly of Eocene marlstone, the vines range in age from 15-25 years and are grown according to the ""pergola Veronese"" method. The harvest takes place at the beginning of October; the grapes are selected by hand, and fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature with maceration lasting for 10 days. The wine is stored in steel until February, when it is passed over the Amarone marc and left in contact for 15 days at a temperature of 15°C. The refinement takes place in steel until May; the wine ages further in barrels for about 9 months and finally in the bottle before release.
