A wine that is incredibly scarce, but worth every sip. The process of creating a bottle of Tommasi Fiorato Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico is incredibly complex and intricate. After the harvest, when only the finest bunches of grapes are selected, they are stored in small open crates and dried for five months during the winter months. Under the influence of the dry air, the bunches lose a great deal of moisture, leaving behind a highly concentrated grape. This is pressed in February, after which a slow fermentation of the fully sweet must follows. Finally, the Tommasi Fiorato Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico is aged for another 12 months in Slovenian oak barrels in Tommasi's cellars.
