Ca’ La Bionda Le Tordare Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 2018 0.5 l

Sweet red wine from the historic Valpolicella Classico zone in the Veneto region, Italy. The grapes are harvested by hand and dried in wooden boxes until late February, thus naturally concentrating the sugars and aromas. The wine is fermented in stainless steel vats, macerated with the skins for about 20 days, and aged in small oak barrels for about 24 months. The residual sugar content is 120–140 g/l. The aroma reveals ripe and dried cherries, plums, and dark chocolate. The taste is full-bodied, sweet, and velvety, with concentrated notes of dark fruits, chocolate, and sweet spices. The bright acidity and mineral character give the wine freshness, balance the sweetness, and allow the aftertaste to linger long.
