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.

The history of the Zeneto winery was born in San Benedetto di Lugana. It's a story of passion and hard work, a total identity with its territory and people, of entrepreneurial skills and openness to innovation with new winemaking techniques and investment in native grape varieties.
The company, immersed in a landscape softened by morainic hills, has an area of 95 hectares in the most vocational areas of Lugana and in the classic area of Valpolicella. Two faces, one white, the other red, both emblems of quality wines that are born from a visceral passion for the territory, respect for time and a family tradition that has been enhancing the local varieties for 60 years.
"Our family has maintained the sentiments, dedication and simplicity that have allowed us to become a concrete productive reality. This is why we think we can meet the needs and expectations of all those who look for reliability, personality and great quality in a wine"
