The vinification of the must for the production of Amarone and Recioto does not immediately follow the harvest. It is the result of a much slower and more elaborate process.
One of the greatest resources of Valpolicella Classica is the large number of indigenous grape varieties resulting from centuries of selection work carried out by the region's viticulturists. This continuous effort, passed down from generation to generation, aimed to select spontaneous genetic variations and crosses that were best suited to the soils, climate, and our famous complex blends. These varieties have become part of our cultural heritage, on par with winemaking methods such as Appassimento and Ripasso.
It is with great pleasure that we are announcing the introduction of our Recioto Classico della Valpolicella to our Classico wines
