Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG

Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG is a sweet red dessert wine from the Veneto region of Italy, specifically the Valpolicella Classico sub-region. The wine is produced by Cantine Lenotti, a family winery founded in 1906. Its distinctiveness lies in the use of the 'appassimento' method, where grapes are air-dried after harvest to concentrate their sugars and flavors. The 'Classico' designation indicates its origin in the historic heartland of Valpolicella. The name 'Recioto' itself is derived from the local dialect term for the ripest, sun-exposed parts of the grape bunch, which are ideal for this sweet wine style.
