The Story
The “Ripasso” (passed again) method was first introduced in the 1850’s and involves a secondary extended maceration and fermentation over Amarone grape skins. The process gives the wine greater complexity, a superior structure, bolder and softer body and an intense ruby red color. Though reminiscent of the more concentrated, dense Amarone wine, Valpolicella Ripasso is a younger, fresher expression. Tenuta Santa Maria continues the family tradition, producing a wine that is a true expression of the region’s indigenous Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes – elegant yet complex with warm, structured tannins, balanced acidity and rich fruit.
About Tenuta Santa Maria
Brand Story
Centuries of experience and research handed downhave led to the development of a philosophy characterized by the continuous improvement of the quality of our production, marrying the cultivation and winemaking methods of ancient origins with the most interesting innovations gradually adopted throughout our history. In 1800 the family perfected the high density and low yield cultivation that we still use today both on our selections of native Veronese and international varieties to obtain grapes capable of producing wines of extraordinary elegance. In the vineyard today we use a targeted approach to environmental sustainability by reducing the use of chemical products as much as possible. Our particular approach to the Appassimento method for Amarone and the Ripasso method for Valpolicella.
