These conditions allowed the Garganega to ripen slowly, enriching its aromatic complexity and maintaining a lively acidity, essential for balancing the wine's sweetness.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nAfter harvesting, the bunches are placed in crates and left to air-dry for about six months in the winery's drying room, a ventilated and controlled environment that allows for a natural loss of water and sugar concentration.\nFermentation takes place in small oak \u003cstrong\u003ebarriques\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the wine matures for several months, developing softness and aromatic complexity. This aging gives Recioto di Soave Classico 'Col Foscarin' a velvety structure and an elegant aromatic profile, without making it heavy.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn the glass, it presents a luminous golden yellow, with amber reflections, a sign of prolonged maturation and natural air-drying of the grapes.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe nose reveals an intense and refined bouquet, with notes of dried apricot, acacia honey, wildflowers, and a slight hint of sweet almond.
