The Valpolicella Ripasso di Costa Arente is a red wine made with Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes, with the addition of other complementary red berry varieties. The vineyards are located in Valpantena on clayey soils rich in minerals, mainly at an altitude between 100 and 250 meters above sea level. During the winemaking process, a portion of the must was macerated on the Amarone grape skins, following the ripasso technique, for 10-14 days. The aging took place for 18 months in French oak barriques and an additional 6 months in the bottle.
