Recchia Masùa di Jago Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 2018
Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG Classico by Recchia winery is a great structure, notably complex red wine: it is the symbol of Valpolicella noted and appreciated in the whole world. The grapes are harvested on the highest slopes of the Valpolicella vallies. The grapes are slowly dried, then softly pressed and left on the lees to obtain the full colour. The wine is matured in oak barrels and then left to age in the bottle. A unique wine perfect for those special occasions.
