Recioto della Valpolicella Classico, Il Canovino (50cl)

A Recioto della Valpolicella obtained from the best, hand picked, organically grown grapes from the heart of the Valpolicella appellation, the Classico area.

The grapes, once harvested, are put in small boxes to avoid being damaged and left to dry anywhere between 100 and 200 days depending on the vintage, until they reach the necessary amount of sugar content. Once the required sugar content is reached, the grapes are pressed and the wine is aged in wood for at least 12 months, followed by another 12 months on temperature controlled tanks on its own lees to add complexity and structure to the wine, finished by another 12 months in bottle.

The result is a delicious Recioto della Valpolicella Classico with a complex nose, with cherry and red fruit notes above all, a warm palate, sweet and with a pleasant acidity and smooth tannins, perfectly balanced.

Recioto della Valpolicella is the traditional dessert wine, passito in Italian, of the Valpolicella region and finds its perfect match in chocolate based desserts or as a meditation wine. It also pairs fresh or little aged cheeses. Delicious.
