Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend

Yes. Please. Much drier than I thought it would be. Not showing its age at all. Very excited to see this develop over time. A legend.

I'll take some of this every night until it's gone. What a magnificent wine!

Numnumnum, half bottles don't count!

€170 for a 750ml bottle. There are few words to describe, it's rare and simply awesome.

recioto named after the ear recia part of the grape the romans would pick this part gets more sun to make the sweet wine fermentation stopped 80 g per liters made 3 or 4 years every 10 dried 4 and half months aged for 8 months

Very sweet, but also super balanced. It was very good.

2001 vintage. At Perovino, Romanos hotel and resort in Costa Navarino, Greece. Dark ruby hue. Dark black cherry nose, liquorice, almond paste, sweet spice - nutmeg, old oak spice, dark chocolate. Complex. On the nose, full body, medium acidity, medium tannin - plush and velvety. Full concentration and long finish. Very good.

Pure concentration and elegance. A sweet full wine that seems to soar and float across the palette. Dried cherry and hints of ripe fig with subtle tar and resin elements that march through an endless finish. This is a real treat. Brilliant.

Meditation wine all the way through, syrup texture, groundbreaking complexity.

Now I understand why they call Recioto the father of Amarone and all refer to Recioto as the best and most special wine. This wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be, but the smokiness and complexity and the long finish/ aftertaste that keeps evolving in your mouth and leave you wanting more. Spectacular.
