Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso 'Pruviniano' Domini Veneti 202

The Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso “Pruviniano” by Domini Veneti is a beautiful version of this rich and intense red from the territory. It is a wine born in the mid-1960s, thanks to the idea of using the pomace from Amarone to enrich the aromatic profile and structure of the Valpolicella red. Thus, a new wine with a typically territorial face was born, which combines the varietal characteristics of the indigenous grapes of the area, Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella with the technique of refermentation on the pomace. In just a few decades, it has gained a prominent place in the landscape of Venetian reds and today represents one of the most loved wines of Valpolicella.

The “Pruviniano” is a Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso by Domini Veneti produced with grapes from a magnificent vineyard cultivated on terraces with dry stone walls, located in the Prognol area, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica territory. The vineyard is about 15 years old and enjoys a wonderful southeast and southwest exposure. The vines root in precious soils composed of silt, clay, and limestone. The harvest is carried out manually towards the beginning of October. The grapes are first destemmed and then sent for fermentation at a controlled temperature, with a maceration on the skins of about ten days. After a short stop in steel tanks, the wine is made to referment on the pomace of Amarone with a contact of about fifteen days, in order to extract all the scents and aromas. The Ripasso matures in wooden barrels and in steel for about 9 months and completes the long aging process with 6 months in bottle before being put on sale.
