Graziano Prà followed his father and grandfather into the vineyards, trained as an oenologist, and began bottling wine under the family name in the early 1980s. For many wine lovers, his reputation was first built on outstanding Soave - where he helped elevate the region’s reputation with wines that combined precision and minerality - but his ambition always extended beyond whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn 2001, after a long search for the ideal site, Graziano acquired the La Morandina estate in eastern Valpolicella, on steep, high-altitude slopes of glacial marl that sit around 450 m above sea level. These sites - organically farmed with no chemical treatments - became the foundation for his red program, allowing him to manage every stage of production from vine to bottle. By 2007 he became sole owner of the winery and continued to develop both the Soave and Valpolicella holdings, with a philosophy of guiding the land and fruit rather than imposing on them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGiven this terroir and ethos, the 2020 Prà Valpolicella Superiore Ripasso Morandina showcases the heart of Valpolicella’s indigenous varieties - corvina, corvinone, rondinella, and oseleta - through the traditional Ripasso method. In this approach, a fresh Valpolicella wine undergoes a second fermentation on the dried grape skins (the marc) left over from Amarone production, adding structure, depth, and aromatic complexity without sacrificing freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the glass the wine is ruby red with violet hues, offering lifted aromas of black and red cherries, plum and spice, and subtle herbal notes. On the palate it’s medium- to full-bodied with vibrant acidity, supple tannins, and layered fruit that balances richness and elegance - a hallmark of Prà’s Ripasso style that bridges the brightness of Valpolicella with the depth associated with Amarone. This combination makes it versatile with food: it pairs beautifully with hearty pastas, grilled meats, game, and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roanoke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50979715875131,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/4991\/3915\/files\/PraValpolicellaSuperioreRipassoMorandina2020.jpg?v=1771602941","url":"https:\/\/flightwineshop.com\/products\/pra-valpolicella-superiore-ripasso-morandina-2020","provider":"Flight Wine Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
