The Pojega vineyard is located in Negrar, next to the famous garden created by Count Antonio Rizzardi 1783. Ripasso is a traditional, unique and strictly controlled winemaking method, carried out only with grapes grown in Valpolicella. The name Ripasso derives from the refermentation of our Valpolicella, obtained with the Pojega grapes, on the pomace of our two Amarone. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged 12 months in French barriques.
