Varietal

Recioto

Recioto, a distinguished Italian wine varietal, originates from the Veneto region, notably in the Valpolicella area. What sets Recioto apart is its production method, which involves drying the grapes on racks to concentrate sugars and flavors before fermentation. This meticulous appassimento process results in a lusciously sweet and full-bodied wine. Most famously associated with Recioto della Valpolicella, this varietal showcases the hallmark grape Corvina alongside Rondinella and Molinara.

What makes Recioto truly unique is its counterpart, the dry and robust Amarone wine, produced from similarly dried grapes. Recioto, however, retains residual sugar, offering a rich symphony of dried fruit, chocolate, and warm spices. Its indulgent sweetness, coupled with a velvety texture, makes Recioto a dessert wine par excellence, embodying the artistry and heritage of Italian winemaking with each luxurious sip.
