Territory and wine style

The grapes come from the Monte Fontana vineyard, on the hills of Pedemonte di Valpolicella, and from other owned vineyards in the classic area. The territory, characterized by red clay and limestone soils of morainic origin, helps define a rich yet harmonious profile. The ampelographic base includes Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, and a blend of traditional local varieties, for a blend faithful to the denomination and the territory. The drying process in fruit drying rooms for about four months and the subsequent winemaking with natural fermentation stoppage give rise to a soft, enveloping wine of great depth.

Tasting notes

On the nose, aromas of sweet and ripe fruit emerge, with raspberry, wild blackberry, and blueberry, well intertwined with nuances of Slavonian oak. On the palate, the wine is elegant, with a robust structure well balanced by freshness and natural sweetness. The flavor profile is rich, harmonious, and persistent, with a long finish that recalls the fruity notes perceived on the nose. It is a Recioto that expresses fullness, softness, and a pleasant complexity.
