Recioto della Valpolicella Roccolo Grassi 2019 - 37.5cl

The Recioto della Valpolicella by Roccolo Grassi is another great example of how the combination of a unique terroir, like that of Valpolicella, and the fascinating philosophy of a great winery, such as Roccolo Grassi, can lead to exceptional products. With great finesse and aromatic complexity, powerful and rich, sweet but never cloying, the Recioto della Valpolicella by Roccolo Grassi captivates with its notes of cherry, plum, and cocoa. It originates from the Roccolo Grassi vineyard, from vines that can be over 40 years old; vines exposed to the Southeast, on pergolas located 200-250 meters above sea level on volcanic and basaltic soils.

Harvest takes place at the end of September and natural drying until mid-February to concentrate the sugars by dehydrating the grapes; a practice discovered by chance that has traversed the history of Valpolicella over the last century. Maceration for 6-7 days and fermentation that ends in barrique, with 50% of first passage, where the Recioto della Valpolicella by Roccolo Grassi remains for 18 months to evolve and increase its complexity and its aromatic pleasantness, before stabilizing for 24 months in the bottle.

This gives rise to a splendid example of a wine that perfectly accompanies desserts as well as blue cheeses, but which also attracts many for its characteristic of being a beautiful meditation wine. Great finesse and aromatic complexity, with truly surprising power…
