In the Glass
The StoryRecioto is Valpolicella’s sweet counterpoint to Amarone, with luscious macerated cherries and spice.
The Producer
Vigneti di Ettore works in the Valpolicella Classica tradition, including the sweet red Recioto style.
Place & TerroirRecioto concentrates selected grapes by drying them before fermentation; retaining sweetness separates it from the dry Amarone style.
Perfect PairingsDark chocolate, cherry tart, blue cheese or biscotti.
Serve lightly chilled, around 12–14°C, in a modest pour.
Worth KnowingThis is a sweet dessert-style red, making dark chocolate and blue cheese more fitting pairings than steak.
