Recioto della Valpolicella 'Roasan' Adalia - Camerani 2020

Adalia – Camerani's Recioto della Valpolicella 'Roasan' is a full-bodied and enveloping dessert wine crafted by the Veneto winery Adalia – Camerani. All the grapes cultivated on the estate come from certified organic and biodynamic agriculture, the latter production philosophy inspired by the meeting between Marinella Camerani and the iconic French producer Nicolas Joly, one of the pioneers of biodynamic viticulture in the world.

Adalia – Camerani's Recioto della Valpolicella 'Roasan' is an blend of Corvina (40%), Corvina Grossa (40%), and Rondinella (20%) grapes, varieties cultivated following the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. The vines are trained using the double Trentino pergola system on medium-textured limestone soils located at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level. After manual grape harvesting, there is a long drying process in the fruit cellar for about 4 months, during which the berries dehydrate, concentrating sugars and aromas. Next, destemming and soft pressing are carried out, followed by spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in wooden vats with approximately 30 days of contact between the must and the skins, without temperature control. The fermentation process spontaneously stops, leaving a substantial residual sugar, and is followed by 12 months of aging in oak barrels of various sizes.

Adalia – Camerani's 'Roasan' Recioto della Valpolicella is a dark garnet color. From the glass emerge vivid and distinctive aromas of sour cherries in spirit, cloves, cinnamon, tobacco, and cocoa. The taste is intense and well-balanced between the never cloying sweetness, the enveloping softness, and the elegant and silky tannic structure, with an excellent persistence on sensations of ripe fruit and sweet spices consistent with the aroma.
