What kind of wine is Recioto di Soave DOCG 2017 - Marco Mosconi (0.375l)?
The Recioto di Soave DOCG 2017 - Marco Mosconi (0.375l) is a sweet meditation wine, an authentic expression of the Veronese hills. It is made from 100% Garganega grapes, the symbolic varietal of Soave, cultivated on volcanic soils rich in minerals that give the wine a distinct freshness and sapidity. The microclimate of the Monteforte d’Alpone area, with its temperature variations, provides the grapes with a perfect balance between sugars and acidity, allowing for a sweet yet never cloying, elegant, and harmonious wine.Vintage Details
The 2017 vintage was characterized by rather warm and dry weather, with a long and sunny summer that favored perfect grape ripening. The cool nights of September helped maintain the natural acidity of the Garganega, ensuring balance and vivacity in the wine even after the long drying process of the bunches.Winemaking and Aging
After a period of approximately five months of drying, during which the berries concentrate sugars and aromas, the grapes are gently vinified to preserve their aromatic freshness. The wine ages for 18 months in stainless steel, a choice that allows the varietal purity to remain intact, followed by six months of rest in the bottle to achieve its full harmony and roundness.Tasting Notes

How to best open and serve Recioto di Soave DOCG 2017 - Marco Mosconi (0.375l)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening the Recioto di Soave DOCG 2017 - Marco Mosconi (0.375l), it is important to position the bottle correctly. If the wine has been stored horizontally, place it upright for at least 24 hours before serving. This allows natural sediments to settle at the bottom, preventing them from mixing with the wine during pouring.
2. Ideal serving temperature
Recioto di Soave is a sweet meditation wine that best expresses its aromatic complexity between 11°C and 13°C. If stored in a cellar at a lower temperature, let it rest for a few minutes at room temperature before opening, to allow the aromas to fully emerge.
3. Opening the bottle
To open the bottle correctly:
- Gently remove the protective capsule below the neck ring.
- Dry the cork and the neck of the bottle with a clean cloth.
- Insert the corkscrew into the center of the cork and twist slowly to avoid breaking it.
- Remove the cork firmly but without jerking, keeping the bottle still.
Check that the cork shows no signs of mold or excessive humidity: this indicates that the wine has been stored correctly.
4. Inspection and first tasting
After opening, observe the color by pouring a small amount into the glass. The Recioto di Soave DOCG 2017 - Marco Mosconi (0.375l) should show intense golden reflections. Bring the glass to your nose for a first olfactory examination: hints of ripe fruit and honey are typical of this vintage. A small sip will allow you to evaluate the evolution and persistence of the taste.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Although sweet wines usually do not require long decanting, for this aged version, a light pass in a decanter can be useful. Slowly pour the wine, avoiding disturbing the sediments, and let it oxygenate for about 15-20 minutes. This process enhances the candied fruit aromas and balsamic notes characteristic of Recioto di Soave.
6. Serving
Use sweet wine or passito glasses, tulip-shaped, to concentrate the aromas. Pour small quantities at a time, allowing the wine to maintain its ideal temperature. The Recioto di Soave DOCG 2017 - Marco Mosconi (0.375l) pairs perfectly with almond-based desserts, dry pastries, or blue cheeses.
7. Storage after opening
After enjoying the wine, re-cork the bottle with its original cork or with an airtight wine stopper. Store it in the refrigerator at a temperature of about 10°C. Under these conditions, the wine will maintain its qualities for about 5-7 days. Before serving it again, let it return to room temperature for a few minutes to fully appreciate its aromas and softness on the palate.
