The wine has a bright pale straw colour with golden reflections. The complex and appealing bouquet shows fresh notes of white fruit and citrus, as well as warmer aromas of apricot, honey and dried figs. On the palate it is full, overwhelming and smooth, with a delicate vanilla note on the finish. (6 x 75 cl)
TASTING NOTES AND SERVING SUGGESTIONS The wine’s colour is a deep ruby red. It offers an intense bouquet with notes of aromatic herbs, tobacco, liquorice and spices, along with ripe stewed cherry fruit. In the mouth, it is rich in body and structure, with an inviting roundness on the front palate and flavours of plums and cherries. It is dry and austere, with a long finish marked by attractive hints of bitter cherries. Ideal with red meats or strongly flavoured cheeses, or drunk just on its own after a meal. Serve at 18°C in large glasses. (6 x 75 cl)
The term "recioto" probably comes from the dialect word "recia" which means the upper and outer parts of the bunches of grapes. These "recie" are the grapes which are ripest and which enjoy the best exposure to the sun. The word "recia" may be derived from the Latin word "racemus" which means bunch. Our opinion is that the word comes from the Latin "recisus" that means a bunch cutted and let down to dry. Recioto is the standard (6 x 75 cl)
