Brunelli Ripasso di Valpolicella – Jammy Depth for Festive Feasting
| On December 15th, we lean into a wine that’s big in flavour but gentle in spirit: Brunelli’s Ripasso di Valpolicella “Pa’Riondo.” This wine comes from a single vineyard called Pa’Riondo, and uses the traditional double fermentation method — first with the skins, then with dried grapes. The result is powerful concentration, but with a mellow balance. Expect blackcurrants, blackberries, jammy red fruit, toasted spice, vanilla, and a hint of cocoa powder. Pair this with roast pork, wild mushrooms, or a slow-braised lamb shoulder. Decant it if you like. Pour it with intention, sip slowly, and let it warm you as you lean into the season’s richness. |
