Crafted from hand-selected Garganega grapes grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of the Soave Classico zone, this Recioto represents the pinnacle of sweet wine tradition. The vineyard sites chosen for their age, optimal exposure, and naturally low yields produce loose, well-formed bunches ideal for the traditional appassimento (drying) method.
After harvesting, the grapes are gently laid in drying rooms (fruttai) for several months to concentrate sugars and complexity. Fermentation is slow and careful, followed by ageing in small oak barrels, enhancing the wine’s texture and aromatic depth.
In the glass, the 2020 Recioto di Soave shines with a golden hue, offering a luxurious nose of ripe stone fruit, citrus peel, and honeycomb. On the palate, it is lusciously sweet yet impeccably balanced, with vibrant acidity that lifts the richness and creates a long, harmonious finish. Notes of candied apricot, orange zest, and almond linger, underpinned by a crisp structure and elegant freshness.
Pair with: A classic match for almond tarts, blue cheeses, fruit-based desserts, or simply enjoy it on its own as a luxurious after-dinner wine.
Ageing potential: 10+ years if properly cellared.
