A rich, velvety Ripasso with ripe red fruit, blackberry, toasted spice and the depth to carry a serious meal.

Brunelli is a family estate in the classic Valpolicella area around San Pietro in Cariano, San Floriano and Pedemonte. This Pa’Riondo bottling takes its name from the estate’s first single vineyard and expresses the classic area's limestone-rich, rocky soils.

In the glass
Blackberry jam, mature red fruit, toasted spice, cocoa and a faint vanilla note; full-bodied, concentrated and persistent, with a rounded, mouth-filling palate.

How it is made
Selected Valpolicella is refermented on the skins of grapes previously used for Amarone, then matured for 15 months in barrique and tonneaux followed by six months in bottle.

Enjoy it with
Rich stews, steak, chops, roasts, elaborate pasta or rice dishes, game and mature cheeses.
