Subsequently, the vinification involves cold maceration and a \u003cstrong\u003every slow fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is spontaneously interrupted to preserve the fruit's original sweetness intact. To complete the production process, the wine rests for an ageing phase of approximately \u003cstrong\u003etwelve months in barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, during which it fully develops its characteristic smoothness and structural complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG by Bolla is rooted in the heart of the Veneto region, specifically in San Pietro in Cariano, a famous area near Verona \u003cstrong\u003ehistorically dedicated to the drying process\u003c\/strong\u003e.
