Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2011

The 2008 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico is a marvelous effort. Dark, jammy blueberris, currants, sweet spices and licorice come together beautifully in this sumptuous, vinous wine. Recioto is never inexpensive, but this is about as delicious a wine as readers will find anywhere near this price range. Fine, silky tannins round out the exceptional, polished finish. (500 ml)
