The Grape
Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella.
The Wine
Recioto has a deep red garnet colour with purple reflections, an intense, lingering bouquet, with cherry, sour cherry, cranberry notes and a hint of violet, cinnamon and white pepper. The flavour is sweet and harmonious, never cloying, blooming and extremely fruity with a hint of red jam and cinnamon.
The Pairing
Great wines to pair with desserts containing chocolate, coffee, or dried fruit such as Black Forest cake or tiramisu. But where Recioto truly stands out is with ripened cow’s milk cheeses, becoming unexpectedly delicious with blue-veined cheese served with macerated fruit.
