Description

Imagine yourself transported to the heart of Valpolicella Classica, a land renowned for its rolling hills, sun-drenched vineyards, and a winemaking tradition steeped in history. It is here, in this idyllic setting, that the Zeni 1870 winery has been crafting exceptional wines for over a century, and their Recioto della Valpolicella Classico is a testament to their dedication and expertise.

This wine is not just a beverage; it's an experience, a journey for the senses. The grapes, Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, are carefully selected and laid out on mats to dry, concentrating their sugars and flavors. This ancient technique, known as 'appassimento,' is the secret behind Recioto's luscious sweetness and complexity.

As you pour a glass, you'll be captivated by its deep ruby color, hinting at the richness to come. The aroma is an intoxicating blend of ripe cherries, dark chocolate, and a touch of almond, a symphony of scents that awakens the palate. On the first sip, the velvety texture coats your mouth, delivering a burst of concentrated flavors. The sweetness is perfectly balanced by a refreshing acidity, preventing it from becoming cloying, while the long, lingering finish leaves you wanting more.

The Zeni family's commitment to quality is evident in every bottle of Recioto della Valpolicella Classico. They combine traditional methods with modern techniques to ensure that each wine is a true expression of the terroir. Their vineyards are carefully tended, and the grapes are harvested by hand, guaranteeing that only the best fruit makes it into the final product.

This wine is an ideal partner for a variety of desserts, from rich chocolate cakes to creamy panna cotta. Its sweetness also makes it a wonderful accompaniment to aged cheeses or even spicy dishes, creating a delightful contrast of flavors.

Don't just take my word for it; critics rave about this wine! With an expert rating of 92, it's clear that the Zeni Recioto della Valpolicella Classico is a wine of exceptional quality. And with a community rating of 4.1 stars, you can be sure that it's a crowd-pleaser as well.

So, why not treat yourself to a bottle of Zeni Recioto della Valpolicella Classico? It's more than just a wine; it's a taste of Italian tradition, a celebration of craftsmanship, and an unforgettable sensory experience. Serve it chilled, around 16 degrees Celsius, to fully appreciate its nuances. It's perfect enjoyed now, or cellared for several years to come, to allow its complexity to develop even further.
