Zenato Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 0.5L 2017
Recioto della Valpolicella is a sweet wine with an intense garnet red colour. The grapes of our Recioto come from a dedicated vineyard in the Costalunga estate, in Sant’Ambrogio di Valpolicella 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 and, 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.
