Recioto di Soave 2018

Recioto di Soave is produced in the Soave region, located in the Veneto area of northeastern Italy. The wine is made under the DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) classification, which guarantees its quality and traditional production methods.

The primary grape variety used in Recioto di Soave is Garganega, which is native to the Veneto region. This grape is known for its aromatic qualities and ability to develop rich flavors when dried.

Recioto di Soave is crafted using the traditional appassimento method, where grapes are harvested and then dried on racks or mats to concentrate sugars and flavors. After drying, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented slowly to preserve natural sweetness and aromatic complexity. The wine is aged in stainless steel or neutral containers to maintain freshness and purity of fruit character.
