Corte Giara - Recioto della Valpolicella D.O.C.G.

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.
