Hello, I'm the original Ripasso, hailing from Veneto, Italy.

🍇 I am made from the classic Valpolicella grapes, Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella, which are literally “ripassate” (hence my name) over Amarone pomace for about 15 days. This process triggers a second fermentation, after which I rest and mature in barrels.

🦆 The double-breasted "loco" duck, proudly featured on my label, symbolizes the evolution of wine: from a simple drink to an ambassador for the ideals of environmental sustainability and respect for all living beings, both human and animal.

🌱 I am a Vegan certified wine crafted by a family winery that has honored nature for four generations. Driven by a deep commitment to sustainability, every bottle comes to life with full respect for the environment, people, and animals.

👁️ I show an intense and vibrant ruby red color.

👃 On the nose, I’ll make you fall in love with pleasant notes of berries, black cherries, blackberries, blueberries, plums, candied cherries, floral hints of violet, and a delicate touch of vanilla.

👄 On the palate, I am dry, warm, soft, velvety, full-bodied, tannic, harmonious, and very persistent.

🤩 My friends call me “RIP” because if you finish the whole bottle, you might just end up lying down!

🥘 I am the ideal wine to accompany bold, structured, and spicy plant-based dishes.

🎁 My packaging It is made of cardboard, which is also recyclable and Plastic Free, sealed with PLA tape, an innovative bioplastic, biodegradable, compostable, non-toxic and made with 100% plant-based resources.

🚚 My shipments are zero-impact, as the carbon emissions generated by transport are offset with Carbon Direct.

💚 4% of my purchase is converted into charitable donation in favor of animal sanctuaries.

🎵 Appreciate me at my best by listening to the InVinoVibes compilation :)
