Tasting - Accordini Le Viole Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico

Name: Accordini Le Viole Recioto Della Valpolicella Classico
Variety: 60% Corvina, 20% Rondinella, 20% Corvinoni
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $34.95

Winery Review: Sweetly fragrant, the Recioto displays linzer torte and black cherry with notes of loam and bitter chocolate. It's viscous and very densely flavored, finishing on a rich, sweet note.

My Review: This wine had an immediate fragrance of cherry and strawberry. After tasting, the wine had a nice sweet cherry, strawberry and mochi throughout. It had a warm finish that was also slightly tannic. For a red dessert wine with 15% alcohol, it was much sweeter than I was expecting which I enjoyed.

I did not have this wine with food.
