Zenato Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 0.5L 2019
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.

Colour

Deep garnet red.

Bouquet

Elegant and spicy with hints of black cherry, marasca cherries in alcohol and plum.

Flavour

Sweet, the tannins are smooth and velvety. The sweetness is balanced and elegant.

Pairing

A dessert wine suitable for all kinds of baked desserts, especially the traditional Veronese Pandoro, Panettone, pastries and dark chocolate.
