Roccolo Grassi Recioto della Valpolicella 2017
Roccolo Grassi Recioto della Valpolicella received 92 Points from world-famous Robert Parker in Feb 2011. He wrote: "Blackberry preserves, jammy blueberries, spices and new leather take shape nicely in the glass."
Recioto wines are sweet wines made by drying grapes in the winery loft following the vintage, to concentrate grape sugars and flavours in the resulting wine.
Marco Sartori is a young man who is driven to produce world class wines in the Veneto that can rival the top burgundies. In a few short years he has gone from making his first vintage to one of the hottest talents in the region.
All the wines produced by this modern new winery are world class. Marco's philosophy is very simple: reduce the yield in the vineyard to 1kg per vine and you can obtain fabulous fruit concentration.

Roccolo Grassi was established in 1996 by Bruno Sartori and his two children Francesca and Marco. Based in Veneto, they produce wines of unique character and strong personality, which are expressive of their origins. Winemaker Marco Sartori is one of hottest talents in the region. His philosophy is very simple; yields in the vineyard are significantly reduced to obtain a fabulous fruit concentration. The 15 hectares of vineyard are meticulously cultivated and minimal intervention takes place in the winery, to allow the characteristics of each of the crus to be fully expressed. The result is a collection of world class wines distinguished by their pure elegance.
