Un incanto
Il giro tra le vigne e nella cantina storica è stato estremamente ricco e interessante, e anche la visita alla villa sorprendente e affascinante. La degustazione è stata magnificamente organizzata, formativa e assolutamente gustosa, i vini sono eccellenti e gli abbinamenti proposti consentono di apprezzare al meglio tutta la materia prima di grande qualità. Persino il Recioto, lievemente dolce, è riuscito a conquistarci e farsi portare a casa!
La passione e l'amore che la famiglia Ruffo mette sono evidenti e decisamente apprezzati. E' stato un vero e proprio viaggio, immersi in un'ambientazione suggestiva, tra storia e tradizioni, e accompagnati da persone davvero competenti e innamorate di ciò che fanno.

Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC 'Contrà del Tono': This wine is a tribute to the lost village of Contrà del Tono, produced from Corvina Nizza, Corvina Grande, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes grown in the Negrar Valley. The grapes are hand-harvested, dried for 20-30 days, and then gently pressed. The wine undergoes vinification with cryomaceration and is aged in stainless steel and wooden barrels before bottling. It has a ruby red color, with aromas of ripe cherries, berries, and notes of black pepper and cloves, offering elegant tannins and a fresh, persistent finish.
Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso DOC 'Strada Campiona': Named after the ancient Roman road connecting Villa Quintarelli Ruffo to family properties, this Ripasso wine is made from Corvina Nizza, Corvina Grande, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. After vinification, it undergoes Ripasso on Amarone marc and matures in large French oak barrels for 36 months. The result is an intense ruby red wine with rich red fruit and cherry notes, rounded tannins, and a spicy, balsamic finish.
Amarone della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 'Campo di Villa': This Amarone comes from a unique cru vineyard in the Negrar Valley, made from hand-harvested Corvina Nizza, Corvina Grande, Rondinella, and Molinara grapes. After drying and vinification, the wine matures in French oak barrels for 60 months. It is characterized by a garnet red color, complex aromas, and a fresh palate with round tannins and notes of black pepper and almonds.
Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG 'La Tesa' 500 ml: This sweet wine, produced from the same grape varieties, is aged in oak barrels for 18-24 months. It has an intense purple-red color and aromas of cherry, berries, and raspberry. On the palate, it is sweet, silky, fresh, and elegant, making it a perfect conclusion to any meal.
Each of our wines captures the essence of Valpolicella, offering a taste of the rich history and tradition that define Nepos Villae.
