About the wine
Ripe, specially-aged red - a bold, refined classic of northern Italy
- Meet Valpolicella Ripasso - this powerful, juicy red is a signature of northern Italy’s famed Valpolicella region, flush with refined red fruit flavors packed into a bold, full-bodied texture and lingering finish.
- Winemaker Mirko crafted this red in the traditional Ripasso style, starting with a ripe, young wine made from specially dried grapes, then aging the wine first on grape skins for a fuller punch of flavor and finally for 2 years in barrel.
- With 3 generations of family winemaking expertise behind him, Mirko Sella is just the winemaker you want bringing you the regional classics of northern Italy. What’s more, you’re getting this gem with an exclusive savings!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Mirko Sella
Mirko Sella is a bona fide expert of northern Italy, specifically world-famous Valpolicella, where he’s the third generation to make wine from his family’s vineyards.
When Angels voted to bring on more Italian wines and fund a Ripasso (a Valpolicella specialty) — all roads led to Mirko! With 20 harvests in Valpolicella under his belt, he’s ready to share his wines on the world stage, thanks to you!
Mirko’s wines are regional classics made with sun-dried grapes hand-harvested from his family’s vineyards: a powerful, concentrated Valpolicella Amarone, and its bold ally, a fruity Valpolicella Ripasso.
