Valpolicella Ripasso DOC Superiore "Bosan" 2018

It is called Bosan and it is a Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC. It is proposed by the Cesari winery and is the fruit of the experience gained with their Amarone Bosan. The first vintage is 2001. It was born in March with the passage, for about 15 days, of the wine over the dried marc from the Bosan vineyard. At the end of the 'ripasso' period, after racking, what is obtained is a product very rich in colour, body, aromas and tannins. This is followed by malolactic fermentation and a maturation period of about 12 months in French oak barriques. Then, after blending, the wine passes into large oak barrels, where it continues its journey for a further 6 months. Finally, after bottling, the wine rests in the bottle for at least another 8 months, before being finally released. Brilliant, with an intense purple colour, the nose expresses notes of red fruits, cherries and spices. In the mouth, however, it reveals a full and harmonious body, good acidity and a pleasant velvety aftertaste, with distinct perceptions of chocolate and roasted coffee. It pairs well with game, grilled or stewed meat, and mature cheeses.
