Description

“You are holding a treasure of the ages, the Queen of dessert wines, a rare gem of exquisite, crushed velvet texture and a palate brimming with vivid, seductive black fruit and chocolate notes. One sip will tell you why, for centuries, Recioto represented the pinnacle of every Valpolicella winemaker’s range – until one fateful day in 1936 when it was discovered that splendid sweet Recioto, when left, transformed into delectable dry Amarone. Today, the clamour for Amarone consigns original Recioto to a tiny two per cent of each vintage… and that is why the bottle you are holding is, well, very small. Yet so very, very special!”
