Sartori Di Verona Valpolicella Ripasso 2019 750ml

The Sartori di Verona Valpolicella Ripasso 2019 is a rich and velvety red wine from Italy’s Veneto region, crafted using the traditional “ripasso” method. By refermenting Valpolicella wine on the dried grape skins used for Amarone, this process enhances depth, complexity, and texture.
