The concept behind the wine
The Recioto is the wine dedicated to conviviality, to gatherings with friends and relatives. It is the companion that closes the evening by telling you a story. And it is here that Siridio’s story comes into play, with his determination to reach the stars.
The label is a blend of colors and different shades that evoke various impressions:
- The darker tones represent the coming sunset. Our hero Siridio finally returns home after a long journey that has led him to a deeper understanding of himself.
- The lighter tones warn us that the sun is rising and the journey is not over but it has actually just begun.
In the background, we see a panoramic view of Valpolicella with vineyards and olive trees, a window with a light on, always ready to welcome us.
Whether it’s the end or the beginning, every journey starts from home.
Tasting notes
A sweet passito wine originated from indigenous red grapes left to wither for a few months after a careful selection in the vineyards. The richness and roundness that this wine releases on the nose and palate are owed to the withering process.
Siridia’s Recioto expresses itself with:
- Taste: an enveloping and intense character with an elegant, well-balanced sweetness.
- Aromas: notes of blackberry and cherry jam, sweet spices like vanilla and cinnamon, chocolate, and a subtle balsamic hint.
Pairings:
- Perfect with dry pastries, fresh red fruit tarts, and Villafranca butter puff pastries.
- An intriguing match for medium to long-aged cheeses and blue cheeses.
- Excellent as a convivial wine to share at the end of a meal.
Winemaking technique
Grapes are selected and hand-picked in 4-5 kg crates.
This is followed by a long period of natural withering from September to January.
After gentle pressing, it follows a red vinification with maceration on the skins.
Aging takes place in stainless steel tanks for 24 months and in bottles for an additional 12 months before commercialization.
