Tasting notes

• Aromas showcase a dried fruit medley—figs, apricots, and raisins—complemented by honeyed notes and subtle spice.
• On the palate, it is deeply lush and velvety, with concentrated fruit sweetness tempered by bright acidity; flavors of ripe fruit, almond, and a touch of caramel emerge toward the finish.
• The finish is long and elegant, leaving a warm, lingering impression that invites another sip.

Food pairing

Best enjoyed after a meal, this Recioto shines with rich desserts and cheese. Pair with dark chocolate, chocolate-covered almonds, fig tarts, aged cheeses, and blue cheeses for a harmonious contrast. It also makes a decadent partner for a dessert cheese plate or almond biscotti served with coffee.

Serving and storage

Serve slightly cool, around 12–14°C, to balance sweetness and acidity. Store upright away from direct light; once opened, enjoy within a few days to preserve its bouquet and structure.
