Secondo Marco's Valpolicella DOC Classico Superiore Ripasso is obtained with Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella grapes and with a small percentage of other native grapes. After the manual harvest, the must ferments for 2 weeks on the skins during the month of September; then the "ripasso" on the Amarone skins takes place with a maceration process lasting 10 days. The final aging phase includes a total stay of 18 months in barrels and a final refinement of 6 months in the bottle.
