Costa Rossa builds its depth twice. Appassimento contributes concentrated fruit to the first fermentation; Ripasso on Ca’ Botta Amarone skins then adds a second layer of texture and savoury complexity.
The result is a broad, enveloping Ripasso whose ripe fruit gains depth across the palate. Freshness runs through that layered concentration, keeping the wine vivid and carrying it to a clear, dry close.
Deep ruby red with violet reflections.
Black cherry, plum and blackberry lead the bouquet, followed by thyme, sweet spice and a trace of smoke.
Costa Rossa is full and rounded on the palate. Tannins provide a clear frame, while vibrant acidity lifts the dark fruit. A stony note and fresh black tea lend savoury definition through the centre.
Dried leaf and spice add depth toward the close. Plum and black tea continue together through the dry finish.
Serve Costa Rossa with pastissada de caval and polenta, slow-braised beef short ribs, pappardelle with hare ragù, baked pasta with mushrooms or grilled radicchio wrapped in pancetta. Medium-aged Monte Veronese also suits it well.
Allow around 30 minutes in a decanter before serving.
Serve at 16–17°C.
