Wine · PDO · 4 municipalities

While neighboring sweet appellations permit blending, Recioto di Gambellara distinguishes itself by requiring a strict 100% Garganega grape composition. Produced across four Veneto municipalities, including Montebello Vicentino, this sweet wine is crafted by just 16 verified producers. Production rules restrict the drying process to a maximum of 6.25 tons of grapes per hectare. Recognised since 1982, the resulting Classico wine reaches at least 14.0% total alcohol by volume. It yields an intense ripe fruit aroma with potential vanilla nuances, delivering a harmonious, sweet flavor defined by a characteristic slight bitter aftertaste.
