Santa Sofia Recioto della Valpolicella 2001 500mL

Grape Varietals:

Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella. The grapes are carefully selected and left to dry for about 120 days before pressing.

Tasting Notes:

Intense and bright ruby red colour with purplish hues. It offers an intriguing bouquet, balsamic and floral, with hints of small red berries and spices. Notes of tobacco and toasted nuts. The palate is structured and fulfilling, freshly acidic, with very little space for sweetness. Vivacious tannic texture, hinting sour cherries  and cocoa; fresh, clean and persistent.

Food Pairings:

An end-of-meal wine, it is at its best when paired with coffee desserts, shortbread, castagnaccio (a rustic chestnut pudding from Tuscany) and chocolate cakes; try it with daring pairings, like aged cheese, in peculiar Roquefort cheese.
