Recioto della Valpolicella 'Anfora' Pietro Zardini 2022

Pietro Zardini's 'Anfora' is a velvety, soft and balanced Recioto della Valpolicella. With its heart of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes from soils of detritus, calcareous marl and basalt, this wine expresses itself in an intense ruby red colour and an enveloping bouquet of underbrush. The result of careful selection and traditional craftsmanship, the grapes are dried for months before a slow fermentation in amphora, followed by 18 months of ageing in terracotta. Perfect to savour at the end of a meal, perhaps as a meditation wine, or to enjoy with chocolate pastries

RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA 'ANFORA' PIETRO ZARDINI 2022 DESCRIPTION

Nestled in the heart of Valpolicella Classica, Pietro Zardini's Recioto della Valpolicella 'Anfora' represents a sublime interpretation of local wine traditions. Produced by one of the area's most renowned wineries, this label embodies the very essence of Valpolicella, a land of deep roots and millennial history. The 'Anfora' label evokes an ancient art of winemaking, recalling the traditions of the past while embracing innovation and quality.

Recioto della Valpolicella 'Anfora' is the result of a careful selection of grapes from the highest hills of Valpolicella, where the predominantly red and brown soil of detritus, calcareous marl and basalt gives them a complex and elegant character. These grapes, consisting mainly of Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, are harvested by hand in the upper hills and carefully arranged in boxes. The drying process of the grapes, which lasts between 4 and 5 months, is followed by a slow traditional fermentation on the skins with a maceration period of 4-5 weeks. The wine then matures for 18 months in terracotta amphorae, an ancient ageing method that gives the wine an extraordinary depth.

Recioto della Valpolicella 'Anfora' is distinguished by its enveloping bouquet, characterised by aromas of undergrowth enriched by notes of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry. On the palate, the wine is velvety, soft, balanced and pleasantly sweet, with an ageing potential of 6/8 years. Recioto della Valpolicella 'Anfora' is the perfect companion for moments of sweet conviviality, perfectly accompanying dry pastries or chocolate desserts. With its elegance and velvety texture, this dessert wine lends itself to being enjoyed in company, perhaps in front of the fireplace with a chocolate cake in your hands.
