Meet the winemaker - Gamba
The 2019 Gamba Campedel Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore is a captivating red wine that exemplifies the rich winemaking traditions of the Valpolicella region in Italy. This wine is crafted using the Ripasso method, where the young Valpolicella wine is re-passed over the leftover skins of Amarone, enhancing its complexity and depth.
In the glass, it presents a deep ruby color, hinting at its robust character. The nose is a delightful bouquet of ripe cherries, plums, and dark berries, interwoven with notes of dried herbs, spices, and a subtle hint of chocolate. On the palate, it offers a harmonious balance of fruit and acidity, with velvety tannins that provide structure and elegance.
The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of dark fruit and a touch of earthiness. This wine pairs beautifully with hearty dishes such as braised meats, rich pastas, or aged cheeses, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and special occasions. Enjoy it slightly below room temperature to fully appreciate its nuances and complexity.
