Luciano Arduini is a family-run winery with a decades-long tradition. Priority is given to the wines of the Valpolicella appellation present in all its versions: Amarone della Valpolicella, Recioto della Valpolicella, Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso, and Valpolicella Classico Fontana del Fongo. The house also produces a white wine, a Passito wine (sweet wine made from dried grapes), and a Grappa (marc brandy).
This delicious Recioto della Valpolicella Classico, produced in very limited quantities (2000 bottles), comes from a blend of the classic Veronese grapes Corvina (60%), Corvinone (20%), Rondinella (15%) and Molinara (5%). The harvest takes place in the first twenty days of September. The most beautiful and healthy bunches are placed on trays paying great attention to the integrity of the berries. They are then transferred to special dry and ventilated attics, where they will rest until the winter period, losing 45% of their weight. The wine is aged in barrels for 10 months.
The wine has a splendid intense ruby red color. On the nose, there are hints of black cherry jam, pomegranate, dried violet, rhubarb, walnut husk, resin. In the mouth, it shows a delicate sweetness, soft tannins, and a fruity freshness that lingers the finish. Enjoy it with red fruit tarts or chocolate cakes.
