Collis Valpolicella Ripasso

Collis Valpolicella Ripasso is a distinctive wine produced in the historic Veneto region of Northeast Italy. The name 'Valpolicella Ripasso' refers to the specific winemaking technique where basic Valpolicella wine is re-fermented (ripassato) with the warm, sugar-rich grape skins of Amarone or Recioto, resulting in a wine with more structure, complexity, and alcohol content than a standard Valpolicella.

This specific label is part of the Collis Veneto Wine Group, a major player in the Italian wine landscape. The brand represents a consortium of cooperatives that bring together local grape growers from several prestigious appellations, including Soave, Valpolicella, and Bardolino. By centralizing the production and distribution through the Collis Group, these individual growers can reach international markets while maintaining the traditional viticultural practices of the Verona province.
