For many years, the wine called Ripasso has dominated the market, especially in the U.S and Australia.. But in recent years, as wine drinkers have become more discerning, they have begun drinking other types of sparkling wines like Amarone. The reason is fairly easy: Ripasso is simply too pleasant, light and refreshing like Amarone, yet not as pricey. So in many parts, including Canada, Russia, Northern Europe and the United States, most people today prefer to purchase Ripasso rather than Amarone wines. While some consider this a betrayal of the old ways, it is actually a positive sign of the continuing evolution of winemaking.
Ripasso grapes are famous throughout the world for their crisp freshness, which is why so many people prefer to drink it from the same bottle of wine. However, unlike Amarone that is often blended with other types of wine, such as rose, sherry or Vino Nobile di Montalcino, the unique properties of the Ripasso grapes make it unique. These are unlike any other grapes grown in the Ripasso area, making them even more desirable. This makes the ripasso wine one of the best selling red wines in the world. It's no surprise that the demand for this wine has been consistently high throughout the years.
If you happen to live near an area where the ripasso wine grape is growing, it can be harvested in the late summer to mid October, providing you with some good value wine during the hot summer months. However, if you do not live near an area where this great red grape is growing, don't despair because it is still possible to find late ripasso wine on the market at good prices. Many local retailers will take orders for bottles of ripasso wine and deliver them directly to your door. So even if you cannot afford to buy a bottle, you can still enjoy drinking one!

Ripasso Valpolicella ancient and still popular
Ripasso Valpolicella is one of the oldest viticulturists in Italy and has been making sparkling wines since 1795. This beautiful wine is made from four grape varieties namely Bellaccino, Grecanico, Pinotage and Syrah. Each variety is assigned with a specific year. For example, Bellaccino grapes are usually chosen in the year of Grecanico which produces an Italian white. Pinotage grapes are selected in the year of Syrah when this grape is abundant in Italy. The combination of these grape varieties are arranged in a way to produce a unique and well-structured wine that is enjoyed by the people of every era.
