Q

How do Valpolicella Superiore, Amarone della Valpolicella, Recioto della Valpolicella, and Ripasso differ from each other?

A

Valpolicella Superiore is fermented dry

Amarone della Valpolicella and Recito della Valpolicella are produced from grapes that have gone through appassimento process wherein the grapes are dried prior to fermentation concentrating the sugar and acid within the grapes. Recito grapes are dried for a month longer than Amarone grapes and so a divergence in style exists in regards to RS upon completion of fermentation for each. Amarone is usually fermented dry or to near-dryness whereas Recioto is fermented semi-sweet to sweet.

Valpolicella Ripasso DOC represents an in-between style between Valpolicella and Amarone and these wines are made by repassing Valpolicella on top of the unpressed skins used for an Amarone or Recioto fermentation and then the mixture is allowed to ferment.
