Recioto di Soave Le Colombare Pieriopan 0.5

Pieropan's Recioto di Soave Le Colombare is a sweet white wine produced in the Veneto region of Italy. The territory of Soave, from which it takes its name, is located in the province of Verona and covers volcanic hills and limestone soils, which give the wine unique and unmistakable characteristics. The vineyards from which this wine comes are located in particular in the Le Colombare area, an area of great value for wine production. The grapes used for the production of Pieropan's Recioto di Soave Le Colombare are mainly Garganega, an indigenous grape variety of the region. The process of making this wine is very special and requires great care and attention. The grapes are hand-picked in small boxes during the harvest, which usually takes place in late September. Next, the grapes are dried on racks for a period of 4 to 5 months, during which they lose most of their water and concentrate their sugars. After drying, the grapes are pressed and the resulting must is slowly fermented at a controlled temperature. The wine is then aged in oak or steel barrels for at least a year before being bottled. Pieropan's Recioto di Soave Le Colombare has a deep golden yellow color and offers aromas of ripe fruit, honey and spices on the nose. The palate is sweet, but balanced by good acidity, with notes of apricot, honey and vanilla. This wine pairs perfectly with fruit desserts or dry pastries, but can also be an excellent meditation wine.
