ABOUT THE WINE

In 1958 Domenico Fraccaroli began producing wines on a small piece of paradise in Friuli-Venezia-Giulia, producing wines from local varieties. In 2002, his son, Tiziano Fraccaroli, purchased an estate in Verona, in the town of Lavagno, the Grotta del Ninfeo, allowing the family to expand their range and produce the wines of Valpolicella. The third generation, Domenico and Luca, and now in charge of the estate, continuing their family tradition.


TASTING NOTES

Red fruit mingles with delicate wood spice from 12 months in French oak tonneaux (large barrels which give less oak-influence than barriques); the palate is wonderfully refined, soft and elegant, with a complex red fruit and raisin-etched finish.


FOOD PAIRING

Ideal for feathered game dishes, rabbit or lighter red meat dishes.


FRIARWOOD SAYS

Ripasso is produced by putting Valpolicella wine in a tank with the leftover pressed grape skins and stems of Amarone. The sugar remaining in the pressed grapes begins a secondary fermentation, adding extra alcohol and complexity, while retaining the more delicate character of Valpolicella.

Little gem from north of italy!

We were so glad to find this wine again after our trip to Italy! We were cycling in the north-east and stopped at their wine bar under a beautiful villa. we enjoyed their lovely jammy Ripasso and a gorgeous sunset. We asked the girl at the bar if we could find the wine in the uk (we only had hand baggage!), and she mentioned Friarwood! So glad to have re-discovered the wine and this beautiful shop.
