RECIOTO DELLA
VALPOLICELLA D.O.C.G.
Compact ruby red in colour.
The nose is intense with almost bursting red fruits and aromatic herbs.
On the palate is succulent, with excellent, well-balanced body. Surprising, inasmuch as its marked sweetness is never cloying due to an elegant, crisp acidity that makes for easy drinking and a long, satisfying finish.
APPELLATION Recioto della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. GRAPE VARIETIES Corvina Veronese 70%, Rondinella 30% VINEYARD LOCATION Hillsides of the Valpolicella production area SOIL CHARACTERISTIC Clayey and calcareous TRAINING SYSTEM Arbour
