Albino Armani Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Barrique DOC 2022

Albino Armani Recioto della Valpolicella Classico – The exquisite dessert wine from Veneto. With the Albino Armani Recioto della Valpolicella Classico, you'll experience a true gem of Italian wine culture. This lusciously sweet red wine comes from the traditional Valpolicella Classico region in the heart of the Veneto region of northern Italy. Even in antiquity, Recioto was known as the "king of sweet wines" – and it continues to delight today with its unique balance of fruitiness, structure, and elegant sweetness.

In the glass, this dessert wine displays a deep garnet red color with violet reflections. The nose unfolds intense aromas of ripe cherries, dark plums, sour cherries, fine dark chocolate, and delicate mocha. On the palate, it is velvety, full-bodied, and impresses with a refined balance of sweetness and acidity – an ideal companion for festive occasions or as an elegant wine to savor on its own.

• Bouquet: Ripe red fruits, sour cherry, plum, dark chocolate, coffee

Recioto is made from hand-picked grapes of the Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella varieties. These grapes come from sun-drenched vineyards at altitudes of 300 to 500 meters, growing on ancient stone terraces – the typical marogne. After harvesting, the grapes are dried for months in airy drying rooms (fruttaio). This slow appassimento process concentrates the aromas before the must undergoes a particularly gentle and lengthy fermentation to become Recioto.
