Italy | Veneto – Valpolicella | Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara | Red Wine
Style: Rich, Smooth & Intensely Fruity Ripasso Red

✨ Crafted in the traditional Ripasso method, Alpha Zeta’s ‘R’ delivers the depth of Amarone with the freshness of Valpolicella—layered, expressive, and beautifully balanced.

👁️ In the Glass: Vibrant ruby red with deep intensity and a glossy sheen.

👃 On the Nose: Concentrated and aromatic with red cherry, dried cranberry, and raspberry compote, complemented by hints of spice and a touch of cocoa.

💫 On the Palate: Full-bodied and velvety with juicy cherry-pie richness balanced by supple tannins and refreshing acidity. A lingering note of bitter cherry adds structure and a savoury edge to the long, mouthwatering finish.

🍽️ Food Pairing: Excellent with roast pork, grilled lamb, mushroom risotto, hard cheeses, or rich pasta dishes like lasagna or ragù.

⏳ Ageing Potential: 6–8 years—drinks beautifully now but will develop added complexity and roundness with cellaring.

💎 Why You’ll Love It: ‘R’ Ripasso is the perfect middle ground—rich and generous like Amarone, yet fresh and accessible. A warming, flavour-packed red that’s as versatile as it is satisfying.
