NAME:
Recioto di Soave D.O.C.G.
ALCOHOL CONTENT:
13% vol.
GRAPE VARIETIES:
97% Garganega, 3% Trebbiano di Soave
PRODUCTION AREA:
Alpone Valley area, north-east of Soave.
HARVEST:
Manual selection of the best bunches at the end of September,
then carefully placed in plastic crates located in constantly
aired and monitored rooms.
TECHNIQUE:
The resting grapes are left to dry until mid/late
March in crates located in the drying rooms, constantly
monitored and selected until pressing. In the
meantime, noble rot develops on the berries, giving the
wine its typical aroma. After soft pressing, a slow
fermentation of the must follows, partly in stainless steel
tanks and partly in barriques.
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:
A bright golden yellow wine with an intense and noble aroma,
at once fruity, harmonious, and pleasantly almondy. It is characterized by notes of
dried and withered flowers, ripe fruits, jams, and fruits preserved in alcohol
such as raisins, apricots, and dried figs.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
An intriguing meditation wine that pairs well
with traditional Veronese desserts such as
shortcrust pastries, jam tarts, and raisin cakes.
Excellent with spiced or blue cheeses, honey, and mustards.
