What kind of wine is Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 'Le Peagné' 2019 - Vaona (0.5l)?
The Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 'Le Peagné' 2019 - Vaona (0.5l) is a sweet red meditation wine, produced in the hilly heart of Valpolicella, in Veneto.

This Recioto represents the traditional soul of the territory, a wine that combines the natural sweetness of dried grapes with an elegant and velvety structure.Vintage Details
The 2019 vintage was characterized by balanced climatic conditions, with a warm but not excessive summer and a dry autumn that favored the perfect ripening of the grapes. After harvesting, the healthiest and most mature bunches were hand-selected for the drying process, which concentrated sugars, aromas, and coloring substances, giving the wine a unique sensory richness.Winemaking and Aging
Once the desired level of drying is achieved, the grapes are laid out on traditional bamboo racks for over five months. Fermentation is slow and controlled to preserve the aromatic intensity and balance the natural residual sweetness. The Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG 'Le Peagné' 2019 - Vaona is aged partly in steel tanks and partly in small cherry wood barrels, a wood that imparts softness and delicate spicy notes. This is followed by a further five months of bottle aging to achieve its full harmony and complexity.Tasting Notes
