Corte Giara Valpolicella Ripasso 'La Groletta' 2022 is a premium Italian red wine crafted in the heart of the Valpolicella DOC. Made using the traditional Ripasso winemaking technique, this wine combines rich fruit character with layered complexity, ideal for those who appreciate bold, full-bodied reds.
Vineyard & Terroir
Grown on south-east facing hillsides in Valpolicella, at altitudes between 180-250 metres, the vineyards benefit from calcareous stone and clay soils. The 34-year-old vines are trained using the arbour system, planted at 3,000 vines per hectare, perfect conditions for producing high-quality Valpolicella Ripasso wines.
Vintage 2022, Challenging Yet Rewarding
The 2022 growing season saw an early budburst due to a dry winter and warm spring. A challenging heatwave reduced yields but increased fruit concentration, leading to a wine with exceptional structure and depth.
Traditional Ripasso Vinification
Using the classic Veronese Ripasso method, the wine undergoes a second fermentation on Amarone pomace, enhancing body and complexity. Aged for four months in stainless steel and 11 months in large Slavonian oak barrels, this wine showcases the artisanry of the region.
Tasting Notes
This deep ruby red Valpolicella Ripasso opens with intense aromas of black cherry, sweet spices, black pepper, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate, it is smooth yet full-bodied, with a vibrant acidity and a lingering, harmonious finish.
