Sweet · Light-bodied · Medium acidity · Festive · Romantic

MaculanVeneto€€€€€€€Dessert Late Harvest

Dindarello is Maculan's late-harvest Moscato, a lighter and more delicate counterpart to the intense Torcolato and Acininobili.

Roberto AnselmiVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Late Harvest

I Capitelli is Anselmi's late-harvest sweet Garganega, made from overripe and botrytised bunches from the Capitel Croce and Capitel Foscarino hills; rich, honeyed and apricot-dominated but lifted by the grape's natural acidity that keeps it from cloying.

Sweet · Full-bodied · Medium tannin · High acidity · Romantic · Contemplative

Speri ViticoltoriVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito

Speri's Le Bine de Jago Recioto represents the traditional sweet red wine of Valpolicella before Amarone became dominant; the fermentation-arrested fruit preserves Corvina's characteristic high acidity beneath the luscious chocolate-cherry sweetness.

SuaviaVeneto€€€€€€€€Dessert Passito
