Product Notes

Roccolo Grassi Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG wine is an exquisite Italian offering, a dazzling display of luscious fruits fused with a delicate spiciness. This red wine is made in the traditional Venetian technique, offering an impressively rich harmony of flavours. The captivating scent poses a ripe bouquet of black cherry and plum mingled with hints of cocoa and spices. On the palate, it is sensually velvet-smooth, bearing fruity sweetness underlined by a striking minerality and a balanced acidity. A fine, long-lasting finish concludes the wine's symphony of layers. This charming masterpiece is an embodiment of lavish Italian winemaking.

Tasting Notes

This sweet, red wine shows great finesse and aromatic complexity. Notes of ripe plums, red berries and cocoa are accompanied by a jammy, spicy bouquet with hints of chocolate. Rich and complex, with an underlying minerality on the palate, the sweetness is beautifully balanced.
