Description
In a nutshell:
A half bottle of a classic northern Italian red dessert wine.
The lowdown:
While Amarone is the most well known product of this part of Italy just east of Lake Garda, red Recioto dessert wines are also a long standing speciality of the area. Like Amarone the backbone comes from Corvina grapes which are dried after harvest to concentrate them before pressing and fermentation. With sweet and intense aromas there's a real warmth to this alongside the candied, dried fruit flavours.
The Producer:
Founded back in 1902, Tommasi Viticoltori has always been about crafting top-notch wines that showcase the unique charm of the Valpolicella region. They have extensive vineyard holdings, producing a range of excellent Valpolicella styles, but it's their Amarones that really steal the show. Theyre also one of the founding members of the "Amarone Families" group, helping to put Amarone on the world map. With a blend of tradition and quality, Tommasi's wines are a true reflection of Valpolicella's rich heritage.
When to drink:
Full bodied and velvety this is rarely seen but among Italy's finest sweet wines.
