Il Sestante Ripasso Valpolicella Superiore DOC
Very strict grape selection and careful vinification using the traditional method of re-fermenting on the pomace from the Amarone create this complex and mellow wine.
We were so proud of our first “Ripasso” made with a selection of our best grapes, that we became the first family to flaunt the name on a label.
