The 2008 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico TB (packaged in a 500-milliliter bottle) shows sticky and sweet tones of plum cake, dried figs, chewy raisins, cinnamon and bitter chocolate. The wine is so thick it remains virtually stuck on the palate for many long minutes. The blend of grapes used here is the same as the estate's Amarone, only this wine maintains a forceful 129.34 grams per liter of residual sugar, and needless to say, it is extremely syrupy and sweet. Pair it with figs glazed in Recioto wine sauce. Only 1,000 bottles were made.

Like fine silk on the palate, this rich dessert wine is elegant and mouthwatering, delivering flavors of date, kirsch, mocha and ground spice, backed by orange-tinged acidity. Long finish. Drink now through 2026. 150 cases made.??–AN??Region: Italy / Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add

The 2006 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico TB (500ml) is a compelling dessert wine made from Corvina-Corvinone (75%), Rondinella and Croatina that is aged in new barrique for 60 months. The intensity is amazing and the wine takes a no-holds-barred approach to dark fruit, spice, sweet barbecue sauce and candied plum. Its rich sweetness and soft texture wraps thickly over the palate like velvet.

Interesting aromas of currant and raisin, with notes of toasted coconut, flowers, citrus peel and mineral. Full-bodied, with a good core of spicy fruit, lightly firm tannins and a clean mineral finish. Voluptuous. Best after 2009. 150 cases made, 50 cases imported.??–JC??Region: Italy / Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Select to Add
