Château La Varière, Bonnezeaux Les Melleresses, - 50cl 2009
The Château La Varière Bonnezeaux Les Melleresses boasts a beautifully ripe and concentrated nose, intertwining aromas of citrus, tropical fruits, and sweet spices. On the palate, it offers remarkable richness and harmony, with a luscious, weighty texture and a youthful restraint that promises great aging potential. Flavours of candied peel, dried apricot, and quince take center stage, balanced by a vibrant and refreshing acidity that offsets its sweetness. Deliciously indulgent now, this wine will continue to evolve, offering even greater complexity and enjoyment in the years to come.
La Giaretta, Recioto Classico, - 50cl 2021
Recioto is a luscious sweet wine made from the same grapes as Amarone della Valpolicella—Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella—but with a twist. The grapes are left to dry on wooden racks until March, allowing for an extra level of concentration in the must. After two years of ageing in small French oak barrels, followed by further refinement in bottle, the result is a rich, full-bodied wine with a deep ruby hue and intense aromas of cherry compote. It’s a perfect match for traditional Venetian treats like almond biscuits or buttery shortcrust pastries—and it pairs beautifully with dark chocolate too. Best enjoyed at 18°C.
