Tasting Notes: The Corte Sant'Alda Recioto della Valpolicella is a blend of 60% Corvina Grossa and 40% Rondinella grapes that undergo a natural drying process from October to late January, then are fermented with the exclusive use of indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged for around 24 months in 118-liter French oak barrels. It shows a complex bouquet of red fruit, dried fruit, coffee, and spices. The palate is full of nutty raisin and baking spice notes, and a spicy rum-raisin finish. Full-bodied, intense, and complex; the raisin and coffee notes make roasted almond cookies a perfect compliment.
