Recioto della Valpolicella is the original sweet red of the Veneto, made from the same partially-dried grapes that go into Amarone but stopped before all the sugar ferments away. This is a back-vintage bottle from a private collection, and at nearly three decades old it has shaded into the gentle, savory side of sweet, where dried-cherry richness meets the cocoa-and-coffee notes that come with real age. Half-bottle format means it's a perfect amount to pour after dinner. We're keeping our notes honest here: this is a mature wine to be enjoyed for its evolution, not its primary fruit.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Dark chocolate torta, aged Parmigiano or Gorgonzola, dried-fruit and nut plates, or a wedge of crostata.

Tasting Profile

Sweet but not cloying, mellowed by age into dried cherry, fig, cocoa and coffee. Soft, raisined richness with a savory edge. Fully mature.
