Leonildo Pieropan, Le Colombare Recioto di Soave, 2021 50cl (Case) Terrapieno Plums and blackberries dominate thisThis Recioto di Soave has an intense gold colour with perfumes of dried apricots and lightly toasted almonds. The wine has a perfectly balanced palate, with just the right level of delicate sweetness offset by fresh acidity. Lovely, rich, almost exotic fruit comes through on the palate, with a baked peach character and a long, perfumed finish.
