Boscaini Carlo La Sengia, Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Docg, Italy

Vintage: 2015
Description: Ancient in origin, this delicate dessert wine is full of charm and has been enjoyed across the centuries. A wine par excellence. The prolonged drying of the grapes, even longer than those of the Amarone wine, gives rise to a higher degree of fruitiness and sweetness in the resulting wine. Not all of the sugar in the original grapemust turns to alcohol during fermentation. This creates an alluring red with both sugar and alcohol weaving a silky sweet interplay with the aroma of summer roses giving way on the palate to fruits of the forest and a marked cherry edge to the finish. A great wine for drinking with sweet pastries and rich creamy puddings and cheeses. In more recent times it has also been offered as a social wine or as an appetiser. Grape Varieties: Corvina 40%, Corvinone 30%, Rondinella 20%, Dindarella & Croatina 10% 500ml
