La Roggia Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 0.5L

Sweet, dense, and warm: This Recioto della Valpolicella Classico shows what can arise from dried Corvina grapes. It belongs to the classic dessert wines of Northern Italy and comes in a handy 0.5-liter bottle.

Speri Viticoltori cultivates vines in the Valpolicella Classico in the Veneto. The grapes for this wine come from the La Roggia vineyard; the best of the vineyard are selected. Before vinification, they dry for 110 days, during which sugar and aromas concentrate. The grape variety is Corvina Veronese.

In the glass, it appears garnet red. Dried grapes, violets, and jam dominate on the nose. On the palate, it appears warm and velvety, the sweet fullness remaining rich in finesse.

Recommendation: Serve it at 14 to 16 °C with dark chocolate, Gorgonzola, or almond cookies. It also works without accompaniment as the conclusion to a convivial evening.
