Ripoli

In the picturesque setting of Campania, amidst breathtaking landscapes and a millennial winemaking culture, Ripoli stands out as an authentic gem among white wines. This wine, less known compared to other famous Italian labels, represents one of the purest and most refined expressions of Southern Italy's winemaking tradition.

Ripoli is produced from the eponymous native grape variety, which finds its ideal habitat in the hilly terrains of the Amalfi Coast. Here, the vineyards overlook the sea, absorbing the salty breeze and benefiting from a unique microclimate that gives the grapes a distinctive aromatic profile. The history of Ripoli is intricately linked with that of the local small winegrowers, who with passion and dedication have kept the tradition of this grape alive, often passed down from generation to generation.

The production of Ripoli is characterized by traditional techniques that respect the rhythms of nature, allowing the grapes to slowly mature under the Campanian sun. The manual harvest, carried out at dawn to preserve the freshness of the bunches, is followed by careful selection in the cellar. The must, obtained through gentle pressing, ferments at controlled temperatures to keep the primary aromas of the grape intact.

The organoleptic profile of Ripoli is a true sensory journey. On the nose, it presents a complex aromatic bouquet, where notes of citrus, white flowers, and delicate mineral nuances stand out. On the palate, it reveals an elegant and well-structured body, with a perfect balance between acidity and softness. Flavors of fresh fruit, such as white peach and melon, harmoniously blend with hints of almond and a pleasant sapidity that evokes the sea.

This white wine pairs wonderfully with evocative gastronomic combinations. It marries beautifully with fish dishes, shellfish, and seafood, enhancing the delicacies of Mediterranean cuisine. Its versatility also makes it ideal with fresh cheeses and vegetarian dishes based on seasonal vegetables.
