Descrizione

With an intense ruby color with garnet reflections, this Recioto della Valpolicella Classico immediately reveals an enveloping personality: aromas of ripe red fruit and dried fruit blend with light spicy notes and a barely perceptible touch of cocoa. On the palate it is soft and full, the sweetness is gentle yet present, supported by a savory freshness that prevents heaviness; the taste remains long and pleasantly persistent, with polished tannins that provide structure without disrupting the overall harmony.

Perfect as a wine for contemplation or to close a meal, it pairs elegantly with desserts that are not overly cloying, preparations with dried fruit and blue cheeses, offering interesting contrasts without overpowering the flavors. Serve slightly chilled to enhance the freshness and the clean expression on the palate; it is a wine that invites slowness, to be savored in small sips to catch the nuances that unfold over time.
