The Story
Recioto della Valpolicella is the Veneto's original sweet red, built from grapes dried for months until raisined, and Romano Dal Forno makes it only when the vintage allows, with exacting precision. This half-bottle of the 1990 comes from a private collection and is now fully mature. Three-plus decades have turned youthful sweetness into something deeper: dried fig, prune, espresso, and dark chocolate, framed by gentle savory edges. A rare, contemplative pour. Drink it now. Provenance from a private cellar.
