Il Valeriano Recioto di Soave DOCG - Andrea Bolla 2017

Il Valeriano Recioto di Soave DOCG by Andrea Bolla offers a rich, composed olfactory profile: notes of dried and dehydrated fruit — apricot, fig — intertwine with honey, candied orange peel and a delicate hint of bitter almond, with a slight floral echo reminiscent of wildflowers. On the palate the sweetness is enveloping but never cloying, supported by a nervy freshness and a salinity that lengthens its persistence; the texture is soft and creamy, the progression elegant and well balanced, capable of maintaining drive despite the generous concentration.

Well suited to accompany dessert without banality: excellent with dry pastries, fruit-based cakes, tarts and almond cookies; it also naturally supports blue cheeses and some savory dishes that play on the sweet-salty contrast, up to small tastes of foie gras. Serve cool but not cold, in large glasses to give the aromas room; it is a generous companion for those seeking a balance between aromatic intensity and drinkability, suitable both for convivial occasions and for more intimate moments.
