"With the Ripassa technique, the wine is passed over the pressed grape skins that are used to make Valpolicella's Amarones and Reciotos. The 1995 Amarone della Volpolicella is a powerful, concentrated example of these robust, high alcohol, heavyweight wines. It possesses a dark ruby/purple color, tremendous intensity, and gorgeous levels of chocolate-infused, truffle-scented, black cherry, and plum fruit. Full-bodied, heavy, and thick, it is a wine to drink with robust cheese or winter-weight dishes."
