Santa Sofia Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore

Santa Sofia Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore is a distinguished red wine produced in the heart of the Valpolicella region in Italy. The brand traces its roots back to 1811 in Pedemonte, Verona, established within the historic villa designed by Andrea Palladio. Since 1967, the winery has been under the careful stewardship of the Begnoni family, who have focused on maintaining ancient winemaking traditions while integrating modern quality control. The production of this 'Ripasso' style involves refermenting the Valpolicella wine on the warm grape skins of Amarone, a technique that adds body, complexity, and a rich aromatic profile. All manufacturing and bottling take place at the estate in Italy, ensuring that the product maintains its Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) status and reflects the authentic terroir of the region. Today, the Begnoni family remains the ultimate owners, continuing their legacy as independent producers of high-end Italian wines.
