Description

Il Canovino Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG 2018

Taste Profile: Intense red garnet colour. Fine ethereal, fruity fragrant, fresh bouquet. Velvet smooth, rich cherrysweet taste

Winemaking Process: Withering from mid-September for 90-100 days with natural weight decline of 60%. Scrupulous care and control of the integrity and health of the bunch in the drying loft. Soft pressing of the grapes in December/January, followed by 30-days of fermentation with controlled temperature and maceration. The wine obtained by pressing ages in 30hl Slavonia oak barrels for 12 months. Further evolution on its own yeast for the next 12 months. Further 12 months aging in bottle.

Lush & Balanced Desserts

Many of these wines often have been touched by botrytis, and have a beautiful balance between fruit & acidity. Despite being lush, they often have some brightness or mineraility to them, and are not as thick textured as some other dessert styles. Classic notes would be honey, botrytis, apricot, peach and other stonefruit, marmalade, spice

Passito Wines

Passito wines is the use of dried grapes to make wines. The main difference from late harvest is that these wines are often picked when ripe & dried after picking, and can be dried to different levels of moisture. A practice made popular by Italy, it has been adopted in various other regions
