2011 Recioto Classico

Dark and rich in the glass, the 2011 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico smolders up with brown spice, cocoa and balsam herb notes as hints of dried citrus rinds and cherries evolve over time. A pleasant inner sweetness greets the palate, with pure silk textures and racy acidity that maintain a fantastic balance, as liquid mineral stone offsets rum-soaked currants and dark chocolate. The 2011 resonates with traces of medicinal wild berries and licorice, finishing incredibly long and with an exoticism that screams Quintarelli.
