Recioto della Valpolicella is the sweet Venetian wine par excellence, certainly one of the most famous sweet wines in Italy. Produced with passitE grapes, the same grapes that are used to produce Amarone, autochthonous grapes of Valpolicella classic selecting only the "recie" of the cluster, ie the upper part, the most sweet and delicious, from which it derives its name. From the hills of Negrar, from a volcanic-calcareous soil at 300 meters above sea level come the grapes used to produce this Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG, among which we recognize the Corvina, the Rondinella and the Molinara. The bunches are selected manually and are brought naturally to overripening for about 130 days in a fruit-grower, with temperature, humidity and loss of weight constantly monitored. The crushing and destemming of the grapes takes place at the end of December, followed by spontaneous cold maceration for about ten days, inoculation of yeasts and slow fermentation with continuous remixing. After about 30 days, a part of the wine is destemmed and the remaining grapes are taken on this must/wine, almost dry, to reach the natural sweet and multiply the aromas. A few months in steel and then aging in bottle. Nutritional values: E = 540 KJ/129 Kcal per 100 ml
A beautiful intense ruby red, the nose reveals its great personality: fruits and red flowers, raspberries, currants, black cherry jam, purple and wild rose invade the nose. In the mouth it is sweet, but not cloying. A nice freshness that accompanies the soft and round taste.
Perfect sweet dessert wine to accompany with dry cakes and chocolate.
To fully appreciate the style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 14°C.
