Made from carefully selected Corvina, Oseleta and Rondinella grapes from a dedicated vineyard in the heart of Classico Valpolicella, it carries both richness and heritage in every glass. The name Recioto itself nods to an old Veronese tradition, where the finest “ears” of the cluster were considered especially worthy of keeping and aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows an intense garnet-red colour that hints at its depth and sweetness. The nose is generous and inviting, with ripe dark fruit, preserved cherry and subtle dried-fruit character, while the palate is lush, velvety and concentrated, balancing sweetness with freshness and a refined Valpolicella structure.\n\nIts layered style gives it excellent ageing potential for a dessert wine, allowing the fruit to evolve into more complex notes of spice, cocoa and fruit compote over time. Even when young, it offers impressive harmony and a long, satisfying finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Recioto comes from a dedicated vineyard in the heart of the Classico zone of Valpolicella, where the hillside terroir and classic Veneto growing conditions help preserve aroma, balance and elegance in the grapes. The traditional style of Recioto is rooted in careful grape selection and the historic practice of choosing only the best clusters for wines intended to age and develop complexity. Vinification follows this heritage approach, producing a sweet red wine with concentration, depth and expressive varietal character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe slightly chilled, ideally around 14–16°C, to best appreciate its aromatic lift and sweetness.
