The \u003cstrong\u003eMontecrocetta \u003c\/strong\u003eand Monte di Mezzo vineyards lie on hillside soils made up of basaltic tuffs and volcanic materials, which give the wine a remarkable personality. Gambellara's temperate climate, influenced by the surrounding hills, favours slow, steady ripening of the grapes. This volcanic terroir is a particularly well-suited setting for making concentrated sweet wines that still retain lovely freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFermentation was carried out in neutral vats, extremely slowly, until the end of spring. 50% of the wine was then put into used barriques for 24 to 36 months, without topping up. The rest of the wine remained in neutral vats. A slow oxidation-reduction process then begins in the barriques, accompanied by a slight refermentation due to the native yeasts. The tank wines and barrique wines are finally blended for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eacacia honey\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecandied fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003emirabelle plum\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edried mango\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edried flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eripe apricot\u003c\/strong\u003e, joined by hints of \u003cstrong\u003efig\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003edried fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eincense\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, the texture is sweet, ample and generous, carried by a remarkable concentration of fruit and residual sugar. Lively acidity nevertheless brings freshness and perfectly balances the richness of the wine. The texture is unctuous and enveloping, while the very long finish extends the honeyed, spicy and slightly balsamic notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResidual sugar: 110 g\/l\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dionis","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":57363052757340,"sku":null,"price":308.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0284\/0032\/0643\/files\/montecrocetta-recioto-di-gambellara.png?v=1789226946","url":"https:\/\/www.lebaroudeurduvin.com\/en-dk\/products\/montecrocetta-recioto-di-gambellara-passitaia-italy","provider":"Le Baroudeur du Vin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
