🌟 A luxurious and historic sweet red from the hills of Valpolicella—velvety, indulgent, and beautifully balanced.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with garnet reflections—rich and seductive, hinting at the opulence within.

👃 On the Nose:
Classic aromas of ripe plum, cherry compote, and crushed raspberries layered with warm notes of vanilla, cocoa, dried hay, and sweet spices. Aromatic and enveloping, like opening a spice chest in a berry orchard.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and intense with a mouth-coating texture. Flavours of stewed berries, dark chocolate, and spice unfold slowly, balanced by a gentle sweetness and a fresh acidity that keeps the wine lifted. Unfortified, yet wonderfully rich and satisfying.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with Stilton and aged cheeses, fruit-and-cream desserts, dark chocolate cakes, or a slice of berry pavlova. A decadent alternative to port with a more graceful touch.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Delicious now, but will reward 5–10 years of cellaring with added depth and complexity.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Bertani’s Recioto is the original sweet heart of Valpolicella—crafted with dried grapes and centuries of tradition. Rich and refined, it’s a dessert wine with soul and elegance, perfect for indulgent moments and sharing something truly special.
