Recioto della Valpolicella Antolini, organic, red dessert wine made from dried grapes, appassimento, dark chocolate, liquorice – sweet but never cloying. A stunning sweet wine that strikes a perfect balance of sweetness with enough acidity to stop it from becoming cloying. It has intense aromas of cherries, cranberry, violet and spice, and in the mouth it’s voluptuously smooth, with intense flavours of chocolate, cherry jam and a lick of licorice. A delicious dessert wine for chocolate gateau, truffles, or gorgonzola.

Claire Wilkinson –
My husband first had this wine on holiday in Lake Garda, we found it again at a small italian restaurant in Chelsea, so were delighted to be able to source it online as well. It was as good as remembered
