The Valpolicella Ripasso Il Re Pazzo Terre di Leone is made from Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara and Oseleta grapes cultivated with meticulous care by Chiara and Federico in the Marano di Valpolicella area, at about 420 meters above sea level. Late manual harvest, re-fermentation on the Amarone pomace of the current vintage, aging in French oak tonneaux (30% new, 30% second passage, 30% third passage) for about 9 months: these are the magical and genuine ingredients of this Valpolicella Ripasso, which captivates with its freshness and drinkability.

The nose offers intense notes of ripe fruit, violet, undergrowth, and spices. On the palate, it is elegant, clean, savory with well-present but smooth tannins.
