Pieropan Ruberpan Valpolicella Superiore (box of 3 bottles)

Pieropan Ruberpan Valpolicella Superiore

Pieropan Ruberpan Valpolicella Superiore is an Italian red wine from Veneto that is both elegant and beautifully structured. Rich and concentrated on the nose, has good depth on the palate, with aromas of red currants, black cherries and blackberries, balanced fresh vibrant fruit with silky tannins.

The grapes are harvested manually on the high-altitude vineyards (350-500m.) with a lot of clay and lime. Low yields of 35 to 40 hl/hect. The fermentation lasts about 12 days with daily 'reassembly' (sprinkling the husks with wine from the bottom of the barrel) and 'pigeage' (immersing the husks). The malolactic fermentation does not take place to preserve freshness. The wine matures for 30 months in large barrels (500 and 2500 liters) and barriques (225 liter barrels) and a period in the bottle before being traded.
