RECIOTO 1990 - BERTANI

Bertani produces Recioto, a sweet red wine, with the Corvina and Rondinella grapes from the hills of the Valpantena, the same varieties used for Amarone. It is made from the smallest bunches with the best exposure to the sun, which are dried for about three months on the traditional “aréle”, or cane mats. The typical cherry bouquet is enhanced by the fact that the wine is matured in cherry-wood casks until it becomes a concentrate of wild marasca and visciola cherrries. The result is dense and velvety, but never cloying.

Grapes varieties:
Rondinella and Corvina Veronese.

The vines are cultivated using the “spalliera” method. The pruning is making using “Guyot “ method with a density of 5.000 bases/ha.

A selection of the best ripe and healthy bunches are transported to the loft, extremely airy rooms situated in Grezzana cellar, and laid down in a single layer in boxes for the drying.
