Recioto Spumante della Valpolicella d.o.c.g.

€30.00 VAT included

A wine story that begins in the Negrar Valley, in the heart of the Valpolicella Classica region, where hand-picked native grapes are left to dry until January, giving life to a Recioto Spumante DOCG of extraordinary depth: a wine that, through soft pressing, long maceration on the skins, ageing in large oak barrels and Charmat sparkling wine production, preserves the elegance of a timeless tradition in its fine perlage and profile of cherries preserved in alcohol and wild berries.

In Italy (excluding the islands), delivery is free for orders over €200.
