Musella, Recioto della Valpolcella 2016 (37.5 cl) Abruzzo Aged mostly in first fillOne is greeted with an array of lovely fruit. Red plum, black cherry interlaced with a rich chocolate note. There is also a slight hint of bacon which adds a balancing savoury element. A sensible level of sweetness with lovely drying tannins and a perky acidity finish leaves you wanting more of this classy Recioto.
