FAQs For Tommasi Fiorato Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico

How is this wine made?

Grapes from the single‑hectare Fiorato vineyard are handpicked and dried naturally in crates for five months, concentrating flavour and sweetness. After drying, the fruit undergoes a long 30‑day maceration and fermentation in wooden vats at controlled temperatures.

The wine then matures for 12 months in French oak barrels, allowing flavours to integrate and develop depth. This traditional Recioto method creates a sweet red wine of exceptional richness and elegance.

What is the difference between Recioto and Amarone?

Both Recioto and Amarone are made using dried grapes from Valpolicella. The main difference is that Recioto fermentation is stopped before all the sugars are converted into alcohol, leaving natural sweetness, while Amarone is fermented dry.

How should it be served?

Serve at around 16-18°C to allow the wine’s rich fruit and spice character to develop. It can be enjoyed slightly cool as an elegant dessert wine or after-dinner drink.

Can Recioto wine age?

Yes. High-quality Recioto wines can develop additional complexity with bottle ageing, gaining deeper dried fruit, spice and savoury notes over time.
