CASAL DEI RONCHI
Recioto della Valpolicella Classico DOCG
A noble, traditional, sweet dessert red wine from the Valpolicella region, this Recioto comes from the ancient Casal dei Ronchi vineyard on the Possessioni Serego Alighieri estate.
Made from the classic blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara grapes, laid out for the winter to rest on bamboo racks in drying lofts during the Appassimento process.
The resulting wine is highly aromatic, fruity and smooth.
