Description

The 2007 Tamellini Recioto di Soave Vigna Marogne de Costiola is a rare and exquisite expression of the Garganega grape, crafted by a family-owned winery dedicated to perfection in the Soave region. As a 'vino da meditazione' (meditation wine), this is not merely a drink, but an experience. The Recioto production method, which dates back over 1,500 years, involves drying hand-selected grapes on racks for months, concentrating their sugars and aromas to create a luxurious, nectar-like dessert wine.

Upon pouring, the wine reveals a stunning antique gold color that hints at its maturity and depth. On the nose, it offers an intense and complex bouquet of luscious ripe peaches, dehydrated apricots, and delicate wildflower honey, all underpinned by a sophisticated, elegant balsamic note. On the palate, the wine is incredibly dense and beautifully sweet, yet kept perfectly in check by a vibrant freshness and balanced acidity that prevents it from ever feeling cloying. The finish is remarkably long, clean, and refreshing, leaving a signature, elegant almond nuance that is characteristic of the finest Garganega.

Why should this wine be in your cellar? It represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship from the Tamellini estate, which has focused exclusively on showcasing the potential of Garganega since its founding in 1998. The volcanic soils of the Vigna Marogne vineyard lend this wine a mineral backbone and depth that sets it apart from ordinary dessert wines. It is an ideal companion for the end of a meal, pairing beautifully with blue cheeses like Gorgonzola, aged sheep’s milk cheeses, or delicate almond-based pastries and fruit tarts. It can even be daringly paired with foie gras. Whether you are a seasoned collector of Italian wines or someone looking for a special bottle to savor slowly after a fine dinner, the 2007 Tamellini Recioto di Soave is a testament to the artistry of the Veneto region and an unforgettable sensory journey.
