Zenato Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico DOC is crafted from partially dried Corvina, Rondinella, and Oseleta grapes, grown in the lush hills of Valpolicella. The traditional appassimento process gives this wine its intense richness, as the grapes are allowed to dry for several months before fermentation. The wine is then aged in oak barrels, which imparts its characteristic smoothness and complexity. This award-winning wine is celebrated for its depth and intricate layers of fruit, spice, and sweetness, making it a standout example of the Italian winemaking prowess in the Veneto region, with deep historical ties to the ancient winemaking traditions of the area.
