Roccolo Grassi, Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG 2017 (0.375L)

"The 2017 Recioto della Valpolicella lifts from the glass with unprecedented freshness, showing dusty rose and mint leaves over a rich core of cherry sauce. This is elegant yet opulent, with a balanced tug of tart red berries and exotic spice, all motivated by zesty acidity. Blood orange nuances mix with caramel and a dusting of cocoa as the 2017 finishes impossibly long yet never tiring. While unapologetically a more confectionary style of Recioto, it’s almost impossible to stop at just one glass." - Vinous

On the nose you will enjoy hints of cherry jam , fully ripened plum, red berries, spices , tobacco, and chocolate. It’s a wine of great finesse and aromatic complexity. In the mouth it is powerful, fat, sweet, although not cloying and on the palate the hints of cherry, plum , cocoa and a slight mineral note are distinguishable yet again.
