Recioto della Valpolicella "RECIOTO" DOCG La Giuva

From the wise vinification of the local vineyards of Corvina for 50% which are added in a blend of 20% of Corvinone 25% of Rondinella and 5% of Oseleta-Croatina. All grapes collected in the La Giuva winery in Veneto; in Verona. Fermentation requires the must removed from the marc to be placed in barriques at the natural temperature of winter, which wisely slows down the process. The ancient art of racking, always in the same barrels, allows you to get the balance between alcohol and sugar as perfect as possible. At the last stage, the aging that develops for at least 12 months, forges its unique and determined character.
