Vinous Media (93)- "Vivid crushed cherry mixes with cinnamon, clove and a whiff of blood orange as the 2021 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico blossoms in the glass. It balances ultra-ripe red berry fruits with contrasting notes of sour citrus and inner cedar over a dusting of cocoa. The finish is long and staining yet still spry, leaving a tart sensation that pinches at the cheeks as rosy inner florals fade slowly."
Wine Enthusiast (92)- "Dried cherries and preserved plums swirling through cocoa and espresso while dried herbs whisper family secrets. The palate flows with luxurious depth, where time tested methods turn ripe fruit into liquid history, making dessert feel like a heritage moment."
Vinous Media (94)- "A dusting of cocoa gives way to candle wax, sage and blueberry sauce as the 2020 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico opens in the glass. This is silky smooth and opulent in feel, with masses of ultra-ripe wild berry fruits and hints of mocha that envelop the palate. Cinnamon and clove come together with spiced blood orange and dark chocolate through the dramatically long yet remarkably fresh finale."
