Region: Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy
Grape: Corvina / Rondinella / Corvinone
Tasting: Dried fruit / Black cherry / Raisin / Dark chocolate / Spice / Jammy / Silky tannins
Pairing: Blue cheese / Dark chocolate fondant / Aged Pecorino / Chocolate torte / Panna cotta
Producer: Cavedini crafts exceptional Recioto della Valpolicella using the traditional appassimento method, where hand-selected grape bunches are carefully dried on bamboo racks for several months. This ancient technique concentrates the fruit's natural sugars and flavours whilst developing remarkable complexity.
Amarone vs Recioto
The key distinction between Recioto and Amarone lies in fermentation: whilst Amarone ferments to dryness, Recioto retains significant residual sugar, creating a lusciously sweet wine. Both wines share the same painstaking production process and grape varieties, but Recioto represents the original historical style of Valpolicella's dried grape wines. This wine showcases the intense concentration and opulent sweetness that make Recioto one of Italy's most distinctive dessert wines, with velvety texture and profound depth.
ABV: 14.5%
Vol: 75cl
