The 2010 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece is only made in the best vintages and represents a special selection of fruit. Dark cherry and blackberry set the tone both in terms of appearance and sweetness. The wine offers great complexity that ranges from toasted nut, to Spanish cedar to moist chewing tobacco. Like most Reciotos, it wraps beautifully around the palate with a combination of tannic power and jammy fruit. Pair it with sharp blue cheese. Drink 2016-2025.
