Um delicioso Recioto della Valpolicella para encerrar em grande estilo a sequência de vinhos elaborados com "uvas desidratadas" degustados pela #ConfrariaVinhoNosso no último domingo. . Produzido na famosa região de Valpolicella, os Reciotos são vinhos de sobremesa elaborados com as mesmas uvas (Corvina, Corvinone e Rondinella) e através do mesmo método de "appassimento" (uvas ressecadas naturalmente) que os Amarones. De fato, pode-se considerar os Reciotos como "Amarones falhos" onde a fermentação das uvas é interrompida antes que todo açúcar seja transformado em álcool. Assim, o vinho resultante é bem mais doce (e menos alcoólico) que o Amarone. . Este Recioto, em particular, utiliza uvas provenientes de um único vinhedo (Torrazzine) e é envelhecido 24 meses em barricas de carvalho francês (e mais 12 meses em garrafa). . Não decantamos. Aos 15 anos de idade, estava um néctar! . Coloração rubi intensa na taça, e aromas que lembravam um Vinho do Porto: geléia de frutas vermelhas, castanhas, nozes, chá, balsâmico e um discreto toque de oxidação. Depois de um tempo na taça: muito café! Na boca é um vinho doce, bem equilibrado pela acidez média-alta, com boa estrutura e taninos muito sedosos. Delicioso e persistente! . Magnífico!!! . . #recioto #reciotodellavalpolicella #villaerbice #torrazzine #valpolicella #veneto #sweetwine #redwine #italianwine #vinorosso #winetime #instawine #winetasting #tastingnotes #confraria #winebottle #wineglass #wine #vino #vinho #vin #wein #appassimento #passito (em D'autore Restaurante)

This seminar, Challenge of the Red Titans, was fun.  It was held Friday afternoon and we had spent the week preceding with serious discussions of Italian wines.  We deserved a dash of fun, but the seminar still provided us with valuable information about Italian red wines.  We learned a bit about how the big Italian blockbuster wineries are reshaping themselves towards a more lyrical and uplifted…

The winery has been in…
