Azienda Agricola Boscaini Carlo - Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso D.O.C. Classic - Zane

From the slopes of the Grola hills in the heart of the classic Valpolicella region, we bring you a new wine, Zane (tsar-nay). This wine is born of the time-honoured blend of corvina, corvinone and rondinella grapes using the traditional method of refermenting or "ripasso" with Amarone. Zane has a delicate flavour of red berry fruits with a hint of spices on the nose. 

It has a soft and well-rounded finish on the palate which makes it the ideal accompaniment to casseroles and red meat dishes. 
Ideal serving temperature: 16° to 18° C
