Product Notes

Giovanni Allegrini Recioto Classico is a sublime Italian wine, exhibiting an intricate array of profound, balanced flavours. Revealing a gorgeous ruby-red colour, it bristles with bold notes of cherry, ripe berries, and aromatic spices. The taste unfolds with velvety layers of red fruit compote and chocolate, underpinned by a keen minerality and balanced acidity. A seductive whisper of sweet almond lingers in its generous finish. This full-bodied, sweet red wine exhibits timeless Venetian winemaking expertise and pairs superbly with rich desserts and mature cheeses. An unadulterated treat for the discerning oenophile.

Tasting Notes

On the nose, this wine is bursting with fruit, the notes of cherry are intertwined with pepper and thyme. The vibrant fruit notes give way to a teeming sweetness which is perfectly balanced with finesse in the smooth tannin-rich texture. The wine is named after the founder, Giovanni Allegrini, who chose this as his preferred wine.
