Talk about the process for making Recioto and Amarone della Valpolicella DOCG.
|
They are produced through the expensive appassimento process - the grapes are dried for over three months in special lofts (FRUTTAI) before fermentation, effectively concentrating sugar and extract. Grapes destined for Recioto are typically dried for an additional month, and the resulting wine is semi-sweet to sweet, whereas Amarone is fermented to dryness or near-dryness. The appassimento process adds complex dried fruit tones and additional alcoholic warmth.
