Recioto di Soave DOCG
Our Recioto di Soave is only produced in the best vintages and in minute quantities. The name Recioto is derived from the local dialect word “recia” meaning the upper “ears” or “twigs” of the grape bunch where the grapes are riper and healthier than those at the centre. Recioto di Soave is a dessert wine of rare quality, golden yellow in colour and with an intense and fruity bouquet.
-
We recommend this dessert wine served chilled (12-14°C or 54-57°F) with desserts such as lemon meringue, sponge cakes or short crust pastry. Our Recioto di Soave can also be paired with other classic dessert wine pairings such as blue cheeses that include Stilton or Rockford or delicacies such as foie gras.
- Ageing potential: over 10 years.
