Product Notes

Pieropan Le Colombare Recioto di Soave is a luscious Italian dessert wine graced with opulent aromas of ripe apricots, honeycomb, and sweet spices. Hauntingly indulgent, its rich, viscous texture seduces the palate with layers of candied fruit notes, luxuriously balanced by a resilient underpinning of acidity. Each sip provokes a lavish finish adorned with marked tones of toasted almonds. This golden gem, cultivated from the indigenous Garganega grapes, encapsulates the harmony of Veneto's traditional viticulture and the Pieropan family's devotion to its masterful rendition of the classic Recioto di Soave.

Tasting Notes

This Recioto di Soave has an intense gold, almost amber colour and boasts dried apricot and lightly toasted almond aromas. The wine has a perfectly balanced palate, with just the right level of delicate sweetness offset by fresh acidity. Lovely, rich, almost exotic fruit comes through on the palate, with a baked peach character and a long, perfumed finish.
