The “Morandina” Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is born in the vineyards of Graziano Prà's estate, one of the most famous winemakers in the Verona area, an essential reference point for those who love wines with a straightforward and typically territorial character. The meticulous work in the fields and the use of organic farming regulations naturally lead to cellar practices that are always very respectful of the quality of the grapes. The vineyards of indigenous red grapes from Verona are located in the hilly area of Mezzane, on soils characterized by calcareous-clay marls, with the presence of sands. At the end of fermentation, it is passed over the pomace of Amarone with 5 days of maceration. Before being bottled, the wine matures for 12 months in Allier oak tonneaux.
