Flavourful and complex, Villa Girardi Bure Alto Ripasso is not one to be missed when going Italian! Ripasso is sometimes known as "baby Amarone", an in-between style of the brooding Amarone and the light Valpolicella. Rich and spicy aromas of black pepper and hints of raisin; full-bodied, intense and spicy on the palate with ripe cherry notes. Cook up some boiled pork belly with garlic sauce or or braised beef ragu and called it an evening! Side note: Ripasso literally means "re-pass”: this wine goes through a second ferment with the skins of dried grapes used to make making Amarone. Delicious!
