Tasting notes

Very dark red colour. Smell of dark berries, oak --> spices, raisins, coffee and some botrytis. Powerful and fruity in the mouth. Much fruit, some mineral hints and also some evident oak. Needs a bit of time to integrate. Not very sweet for a recioto. Probably at the lower limit of legal sugar-content (I have noticed that this is a more and more usual style for the recioto della Valpolicellas). Good acidity and a good dose of tannins at the back. Needs some years to show it's best, but will be very good.
