Description

Recioto della Valpolicella is a sweet wine with an intense garnet red colour. The grapes of this Recioto come from a dedicated company's vineyard in the heart of the classic Valpolicella area. The word ‘Recioto’ comes from “recia” in the Veronese dialect, meaning the ear. It refers to the small wings or little side bunches that crown the main cluster. In the past, these were considered the part of the cluster with the highest quality, especially in a cluster selected for its quality and therefore more suitable for withering.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1960
  • Oenologist: Alberto Zenato
  • Bottles produced: 2.000.000
  • Hectares: 95
95 hectares of top vineyards in Lugana and Valpolicella’s "classic zone." Two faces: One white, the other red, both emblems of high-quality wines that are born through a visceral passion for the land, through respect for time, through a family tradition that has championed local grape varieties for more than 60 years.

1960 – San Benedetto di Lugana. It’s here that the heart of Sergio Zenato started to beat. His story is made of passion and hard work; a deep connection to his land and his people; entrepreneurial ability and openness to innovation and new vinification techniques and investment in native grape varieties.

A story that stretches from the banks of Lake Garda to the hills of nearby Valpolicella where the estate’s reds are born from sunny vineyards of Corvina and Rondinella in Costalunga in Sant’Ambrogio commune. Read more
