Capitel Fontana Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 2019

Deep, bright, ruby red. On the nose, great and memorable aromas of ripe peach, rich wild berries, rich cherries, subtle hints of pear and pomegranate, as well as hints of cedar and a touch of smoke. Elegant on the palate with notes of Assam tea, beautifully juicy, grippy tannins on the finish. Score – 94. (Othmar Kiem & Simon Staffler, falstaff.com, Jan. 12, 2023)
