Corte Sant'Alda is a renowned winery located in the Valpolicella region of Veneto, Italy, known for its focus on high-quality, organic, and biodynamic wines. Founded and run by Marinella Camerani, it has become a standout estate in the region for its dedication to both traditional winemaking techniques and sustainable practices. The Recioto style predates Amarone, and it represents the original use of the appassimento method, where grapes are dried to concentrate sugars and flavours. After harvesting, the grapes are dried for several months, concentrating their sugars and flavours. However, in Recioto, fermentation is stopped before all the sugars are converted into alcohol, preserving the wine’s natural sweetness. Rich and inviting with intense notes of dried fruits such as raisins, figs, and dates, along with floral hints like violet and nuances of chocolate, spices, and vanilla.  Pair with chocolate desserts, or cheese.
