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.
TOKAJI ASZÚ 5 PUTTONYOS Disznókő 2014
The 2014 Tokaji Aszú 5 Puttonyos undergoes 75% maceration with Aszú berries for half a day and is aged for 18 months in oak barrels. This has a very focused and more complex bouquet than the 2015. It's pure and conveys a greater sense of energy. The palate is medium-bodied with an engaging entry, sensual and vibrant. It displays an orange rind, mango and honey mixture, and the acidity effortlessly cuts through on the finish. It is one of the best vintages for the 5 Puttonyos, and comes highly recommended.
