The 2011 Valpolicella Ripasso Classico Superiore Collezione Ca del Pipa San Michele offers some of the same drinking intensity as Amarone, only with less extraction and power at the back. The bouquet is broad and all encompassing with spice, black fruit and dusty mineral. Veins of fresh cherry and blackberry are woven within its soft fabric. Drink 2013-2016.
Sergio and Maria Castellani farm 40 hectares in the Classico zone that are almost all planted to the traditional Pergola training system. The overhead trellis is making a comeback in these beautiful hills after many years of experimentation with cordons, cane-pruned vines and other international systems. The family sources fruit from two important single vineyards, Ca del Pipa and dei Castei, and each represents its own line of wines under the Castellani Michele & Figli brand.
