The Valpolicella Classico Ripasso Superiore DOC I Progni from 2020 by Le Salette features a deep ruby red color interspersed with garnet reflections, which indicates its concentration and structure. The bouquet of this wine seduces with an abundance of dark fruit aromas, including ripe cherries and blackberries, accompanied by subtle notes of spices and a touch of vanilla that underline its complexity.
On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with ripe tannins and balanced acidity, which ensure a harmonious balance. The fruity aromas are complemented by a pleasant spiciness, while nuances of chocolate and tobacco give the wine an additional depth. The special feature of this wine lies in its ripasso process, in which it undergoes a second fermentation over the pressed Amarone grape skins, which
gives it its characteristic intensity. Le Salette, a renowned winery in the Valpolicella region, is known for its excellent wines, which perfectly embody the region's terroir and tradition. The wine-growing zone is characterized by a temperate climate with warm summers and cool winters, which offers ideal conditions for growing the Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and Molinara grape varieties. The soils are predominantly calcareous with clay and gravel, which give the vines excellent drainage and minerality.
