What kind of wine is Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l)?
Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l) is a sweet white dessert wine produced in the heart of Soave Classico, one of Veneto's most renowned areas for wines made from the Garganega grape. This indigenous grape finds its ideal terroir on the volcanic hills of Monteforte d’Alpone, expressing freshness, aromatic complexity, and a subtle mineral vein that makes every sip unique. Recioto di Soave is traditionally the result of a drying process for the grapes, which gives the wine a natural concentration of sugars and aromas, balanced by a lively acidity and an elegant, persistent character.Vintage Details
The 2008 vintage was characterized by a balanced season. After a mild spring and a warm but not excessive summer, the autumn allowed for perfect grape ripening and regular drying. This favored excellent aromatic concentration and a harmonious taste profile, while maintaining the typical freshness of Recioto di Soave.Winemaking and Aging
After manual harvesting, selected bunches are dried in a fruit-drying room for several months, a technique that concentrates sugars and aromas. Fermentation takes place slowly in steel tanks at controlled temperatures to preserve the fruity and floral aromas of Garganega. The wine is then aged for several months, partly in small oak barrels and partly in steel, to achieve a balance between sweetness, acidity, and aromatic complexity.Tasting Notes

How to best open and serve Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l)
1. Bottle positioning
Before opening, position the bottle of Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l) vertically for at least 24 hours. This allows natural sediments, typical of aged wines, to settle at the bottom, preventing them from ending up in the glass when served.
2. Ideal serving temperature
To best enhance the aromas and complexity of the wine, serve it at a temperature between 12°C and 14°C. If the bottle has been stored in a cellar at room temperature, put it in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes before tasting.
3. Opening the bottle
Use a lever or blade corkscrew to avoid breaking the cork, which may be fragile due to its age. Proceed calmly:
- Remove the capsule with a clean foil cutter;
- Thoroughly clean the neck of the bottle with a cloth;
- Gently insert the corkscrew screw into the center of the cork and twist slowly until it is almost all the way in;
- Extract the cork without sudden movements, to avoid disturbing the internal sediments.
4. Inspection and first taste
Once opened, smell the cork: it should emit notes of honey, dried fruit, and sweet spices, typical characteristics of Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l). Pour a small amount into the glass and ensure that the color, aroma, and taste are harmonious and free from defects.
5. Decanting and oxygenation
Not all Recioto wines require decanting, but for a 2008 vintage, it is advisable to aerate it gently:
- Pour the wine into a decanting carafe in a thin stream, leaving the sediments in the bottle;
- Let the wine rest for 15–20 minutes to allow oxygen to open up the more complex aromas;
- Avoid leaving it in the decanter for too long, so as not to disperse the more delicate notes of candied fruit and white flowers.
6. Serving
Serve Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l) in medium-sized white wine glasses, which allow the aromatic bouquet to fully express itself. Pour slowly, avoiding abrupt movements, and enjoy the richness of the aromas and the persistent taste typical of great sweet wines from Veneto.
7. Storage after opening
If not fully consumed, re-seal the bottle with an airtight stopper and store it in the refrigerator. The Recioto di Soave DOCG 'Renobilis' 2008 - Gini (0.375l) will maintain its characteristics for 3–4 days. Bring the bottle back to tasting temperature before serving it again.
