WINE DESCRIPTION
David Sterza Recioto della Valpolicella Classico is a sumptuous dessert red wine, celebrated for its full-bodied and fruity profile, with pronounced notes of cherry preserves. Produced by the Sterza David winery, which was officially founded in 1998, this wine originates from partially dried grapes in the traditional fruttaio method, leading to a naturally halted fermentation and resulting in its characteristic sweetness. The vineyards, under the attentive care of David Sterza and his cousin Paolo Mascanzoni, yield high-quality grapes that embody the unique terroir of Valpolicella. This Recioto is a testament to the winery's philosophy of enhancing the distinctive qualities of their land, offering a richly flavored, elegant wine that honors the region’s long-standing winemaking traditions.
