The 2001 Recioto della Valpolicella Castei was Michele Castellani’s best wine this year, rich but harmoniously sweet, full on the nose and palate with focused notes of plum and cherry jam, mocha, and tar, warm and smooth on the finish but with an intensity and length which should guarantee good drinking until 2012.Importer: Bedford International, Larchmont, NY; tel.
