Ripasso

If you've been drinking wine since the seventies or eighties, you'll remember the wildly popular days of Soave and Valpolicella. Both wines are produced in the Veneto region of Italy. Veneto has a huge seaport that cradles the Adriatic Sea. Veneto's production exploded to meet the needs of the thirsty American market during a post World War Two boom. While Valpolicella and Soave were very popular, the eventual growth in production lead to ordinary wines, lacking depth or character.
     While millions of bottles of simple wines were destined for our shores, a few producers in the Veneto were making very respectable wines from grapes groomed for quality. Amarone (ah-mah-ROH-neh), the flagship wine of the Veneto, was unknown to those quaffing down Valpolicella and Soave here in the U.S., but it would soon change Veneto's style and reputation in our market.
     Amarone is made by drying the finest grapes in a cool, ventilated room for several months. Once most of the water has evaporated, the grapes have extremely concentrated flavors, tannins, and acidity. When their juice is fermented completely dry, the resulting wine is called Amarone. When some residual sugar is left behind after fermentation, it is called Recioto.
     The Italians didn't waste a trace of the precious dried Amarone grapes. Winemakers found that adding the pumice of the Amarone, the grape solids leftover after fermentation, to Valpolicella, they created something quite special. This process is called ripasso.
     Ripassos are appropriately nicknamed 'Baby Amarones' and possess many qualities of Amarone, without the $50 price tag or the long wait in a wine cellar to mellow it out. It has only been in the last few years that producers have been allowed to say a Valpolicella has undergone ripasso on the label. Some still don't disclose when the Valpolicella has undergone this process.
     Ripassos are sultry with tannins, explosive with red fruits and flavors of a dried summer garden. They can be rich with cherries, berries, tar, licorice, spice, and chocolate. Their acidity and finish are savory.
     Of course there is a chasm of difference between Amarone and Ripasso, but the enrichments the Amarone solids add to this simple red wine are tremendous. It's exceptional juice at budget prices.
