RECIOTO DELLA VALPOLICELLA DOC
TORRAZZINE
This wine is also named after vineyard in which
the grapes are grown, indicating that these are top quality. They are the same variety as
used for
Valpolicella,
dried in special rooms for a period
ranging from 120 to 150 days after harvesting (if weather and health conditions allow
this). The most obvious effect is that when the grapes dry there is an increase in their
sugar content and future extracts. After crushing, the must is placed in special
containers and left to ferment for about one month. For this reason the temperature is
raised, as cold weather would prevent fermentation from taking place. Once the wine has
been seperated from the marc, it is put into small oak casks where the Recioto is left to
age for about 2 years.
