L'Arco Rosso Veronese 'Arcum' (Ripasso) 2020
The Wine
60% Corvina, 30% Rondinella, 10% Molinara
Previously known as 'Ripasso Valpolicella Classico Superiore DOC,' Luca continues to produce the wine in the same manner but opts not to register it under the regional classification. "Arcum," meaning "arch" in Latin, denotes the winery's emblem, an ancient Roman arch that remains visible within the vineyards.
The wine combines complex fruit flavors of both dried and fresh varieties, including wild raspberry, plum, prune, and dried apricot. The palate is generous and lush, with a substantial weight that introduces notes of cigar box, black pepper, and cinnamon spice. It possesses a surprising depth and structure within a very approachable profile.
Minimal sulfur is added during fermentation and aging, No additional sulfur is added at bottling

About the Wine Maker
The Estate takes its name from a stone arch, called “Arco di Giove”, located on the road to Negrar (one of the seven historic Valpolicella communes) and near the farmhouse where the owners, the Fedrigo family are located. The arch, dating from 1500/1600, was one of a series of seven arches along the hillside path near S. Vito di Negrar.
