Masi Angelorum Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 2018

Tasting Notes

This sweet passito-style red is made from dried grapes in a process similar to that used to produce Amarone. The grapes for Recioto wines are dried longer (up to 200 days), resulting in greater concentration, and the fermentation is stopped before the sugar is completely fermented. This example from the iconic Masi will evolve through the mid-2030s and perhaps longer.
