The 2007 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece bursts from the glass with sweet dark cherries, plums, spices, leather and licorice. Persistent veins of minerality support the fruit through to the juicy yet focused finish. This inviting, mid-weight Recioto can be enjoyed now and over the next decade or so. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.
Readers will find much to admire in this set of new releases from Le Salette. This is an impressive showing from the Scamperle family.
