The L’Arco Ripasso Superiore is now simply called “Arcum”. Centered around the dried grapes used for making Amarone, this ripasso style uses fresh juice re-passed over the dried, pressed skins after the Amarone is made. A complex and enjoyable wine, combining complex fruit flavors of both dried and fresh fruits. The palate is rich and full with a llong finish of cigar-box, spice notes and wild herbs.
Made in a traditional ripasso superiore style, the old-vines are located in the coveted classic zone and benefit from a little extra juice from the Amarone skins. Fermented with native yeast fermentation and aged for 2 years in large traditional Slavonian oak barrels. Luca continues to make this wine the same way he always has but no longer registers it with the regional classification. He feels the region is sacrificing quality for quantity in the general category of “Ripasso” and his wine has become an outlier in the category.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
