RIPASSO

noun ri’pas.so

Derived from the Italian word “ripassare” meaning “to pass again”, Ripasso technique is carried out by re-passing wine over the pomace of Amarone. This new extraction uses the left overs to create its own expression of life. With this same philosophy, Ripasso Barrel Co adds another layer of life to the wine barrels once filled. By using this material, we seek to showcase the history and life of each barrel.

Our varied experience in the wine industry has nourished our love and appreciation of wine and the culture that surrounds it. We also have a rich background of building with reclaimed material. At Ripasso Barrel Co, we have combined these two interests by using locally sourced barrels that have served their purpose in the winery and transform them into one of a kind pieces of furniture and housewares. We try to let the history of the material tell its story in functional and unique way.
