Corte Saibante produces its Ripasso in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, an area known for deep-cut valleys, hillside terraces, and soils derived from limestone and volcanic substrates. The grapes grow on well-drained hillsides traditionally cultivated with pergola and guyot systems.

The Ripasso method enriches the wine by refermenting it on partially dried Amarone or Recioto pomace, adding structure, body, and complexity.

Deep ruby red with subtle garnet shades; clear and concentrated. The wine opens with red cherry, dried plum, and blackberry, followed by gentle hints of cocoa, sweet spice, and dried herbs. The palate is rounded and velvety, offering ripe forest fruit, light balsamic tones, and a fine weave of tannins. The Ripasso method adds warmth, texture, and complexity, carrying into a persistent, lightly spiced finish with echoes of cocoa and Mediterranean herbs.

Pairing: Excellent with roasted red meats, game dishes, aged cheeses, or hearty pasta.

Corte Saibante: A Tradition of Passion and Excellence in Valpolicella

In the heart of Valpolicella, where gentle vineyards meet centuries-old cellars, Corte Saibante stands as a symbol of tradition, craftsmanship, and deep dedication to outstanding wines. Along the Adige River, past the historic beauty of Trento, stretches a region world-renowned for its exceptional wines – Amarone, Recioto, and Valpolicella. Here, Corte Saibante preserves the essence of this unique terroir, blending authenticity with the highest quality.

Led by Mario, a passionate winemaker, the estate produces wines that reflect his meticulous approach and strong connection to the region. His creations – Amarone della Valpolicella, Valpolicella Classico, and Ripasso – embody a philosophy close to our hearts: family-run values, organic cultivation, quality over quantity, and a deep respect for nature.

A visit to Corte Saibante is a journey into the world of traditional Valpolicella winemaking. From the gentle destemming and pressing of the grapes to the crucial drying and aeration process that gives Amarone its depth, and finally the maturation in one of the region’s oldest cellars – every step honors time-tested craftsmanship.

Alongside the estate’s signature wines, there is also room for innovation: Mario’s latest project, a fresh and fruit-forward rosé, points toward a promising future while remaining true to regional traditions.

Corte Saibante is more than a winery – it is a guardian of Valpolicella’s rich winemaking heritage, crafting authentic wines that capture the aromas, character, and soul of this exceptional region.

🍇 Selection

At Tresmundi, every wine is chosen with the utmost care – guided by the expertise of a certified wine professional with WSET Level 2. With deep knowledge of viticulture, winemaking, and tasting, we ensure that every bottle in our collection meets the highest standards of quality, balance, and character.

We focus on wines that tell a story – whether it’s a hidden gem from a small family estate or a timeless classic from a renowned region. What we offer is more than a drink: it’s an experience.

Food and wine are two of our greatest passions. They are among the richest and most rewarding pleasures in life – and we indulge in them as often as possible. When selecting our producers, we consider not only taste, appearance, or awards, but also their values, traditions, and sense of place. Above all, we value passion and respect for nature and craftsmanship. We make sure that each producer’s philosophy and vision are reflected in every drop.

Our focus lies on small, family-run wineries that work with dedication and heart. Every wine has a story worth telling. You won’t find these bottles in supermarkets – nor in the vast catalogs of large online retailers. Our wines, and the stories they tell, are meant to be discovered and appreciated.

🏡 Storage

For us, every wine tasting is a sensual experience. Proper storage therefore plays a crucial role in preserving quality.

All wines in our selection at Tresmundi are kept in a specially designed wine cellar in Hamburg, maintained with controlled temperature, humidity, and sound insulation.

Bottles are stored horizontally and away from light sources, ensuring the cork remains in contact with the wine to prevent unwanted oxidation. This careful process allows each wine to develop beautifully and reach you in perfect condition.

📦 Delivery

Our wines are shipped in certified DHL packaging designed specifically for safe wine transport (for wine orders only). If your order includes other products, we wrap each bottle securely in bubble wrap to minimize the risk of breakage.
