WINE DESCRIPTION

Vaona Le Peagnè Recioto della Valpolicella Classico hails from the Northeast of Italy. The grapes are sourced from family-owned vineyards, located on hills in the heart of the historical Classico area. The wine is composed of Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara and Raboso Veronese. After harvest, the grapes undergo a drying process to concentrate the sugar for about 5 months. The vinification process involves a slow fermentation on skins, before it is halted prematurely to retain sweetness. The wine is matured in a combination of steel tanks and oak barrels for approximately 12 – 14 months with a further 5 months in bottle prior to its release.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Vaona Le Peagnè Recioto della Valpolicella Classico has a deep ruby-purple hue with an oily viscosity suggesting a wine of significant weight and richness.On the nose, this wine offers rich and decadent aromas of dried cherries, raisins, and hints of baking spices. The palate is velvety and luscious, with flavors of ripe red fruits, dark chocolate, and a balsamic touch. The sweetness is well-balanced by a refreshing acidity, creating a harmonious and elegant taste experience.
