Degani 2021 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 500ml

Recioto has an ancient tradition in Verona, made by the vinifcation of selected bunches. Its name derives from “recie”, i.e. the upper part of a bunch that once was chosen for the production of this wine. After the harvest, the grapes are laid to dry for at least 4 months, losing 40% of their weight. The fermentation temperature ranges from 18° to 22° C. The wine is then refned in stainless steel tanks for 6 months.

This wine has a complex structure, purple colour, characteristic perfume with a velvety and harmonic taste .

Recommended with dry cakes or biscuits (sbrisolona, cantucci or zaletti – typical regional products) and with bitter chocolate. Another remarkable combination, even if of different nature, is to serve it with blue-veined cheese, strong cheese as well as the Italian “mostarda” (sweet and spicy fruit pickles)
