// 100% Garganega
"A sweet, raisin wine of long tradition that takes its name from the ‘recie’ (ears in Veneto dialect) of the carefully selected Garganega grape. It is a wine much loved by the Pieropan family, who have been producing it using the traditional system for several generations. At the end of fermentation, the wine ages in 2500 litre acacia and french oak barrels for around two years, followed by - at least - 6 months of bottle aging before the release. Rich and intense, it has an appealing balsamic note on the nose, opening to a complex bouquet of ripe, tropical fruit, apricots in syrup, candied lime-peel roasted almonds and quince. Spicy, ethnic-sounding, with notes of turmeric, saffron and ginger powder. Sweet notes of honey, beeswax and barley candy. Amber and aromatic. Warm, well-balnced, smooth and persistent. Surprisingly fresh-tasting and very elegant." - Winemaker Notes
