Recioto della Valpolicella D.O.C.G. - Bertani

€16.80
Recioto della Valpolicella from the famous producer Cantine Bertani in Grezzana to the north of Verona in Northern Italy. A lovely intense garnet red wine made from Corvina Veronese and Rondinella grapes. It offers aromas of fruits of the forest jam, hints of tobacco, chocolate and liquorice in the bouquet. The plush, dense taste gives way to a sweet and very spicy finish. A superb meditation wine.

The Bertani family has produced wine in the Valpolicella area since 1857.  They have historically believed in the individual territories of the Veronese zone, from Valpolicella Classica to Valpantena, from Soave to Lugana. An approach that has been respectful both in the vineyards and in the cellar over the decades, to develop a style that has been rethought over the years, thus staying up-to-date without ever giving into compromises. The production philosophy combines innovation with respect for tradition. For more than a century and a half they have made wines that are recognizable for their identity, wines with a clear and unmistakable stylistic profile.

The 15-20 years old Corvina Veronese, Merlot and Rondinella vines for this recioto wine grow in marl-limestone and clay-limestone soil in the Valpantena vineyard. The wine was made according to the classical recioto method. First the grapes were dried in traditional drying rooms on racks for 2-3 months. The grapes were gently pressed and fermented. However, the fermentation was stopped at a residual sugar level of 120g/l to ensure a sweet wine. The wine was aged for about 12 months in cherry wood barrels followed by a period in the bottles.
