Suavia Acinatium

Acinatium Recioto di Soave Classico DOCG bottle image

Wine Description

Recioto di Soave is the most historical wine produced in the area. In Roman/Medieval times it was called “Acinatium”, a Latin word which means “made with grape berries” because it was produced using only the best and ripest single berries of Garganega: an extremely careful and precise selection which is consistent with the Tessari philosophy of meticulous selection.  This wine is the traditional wine of family gatherings and the most special of occasions.

Acclaim
“Bright golden-yellow. Very pure, intense aromas of honey and tropical fruit, with an enticing vibrant citrus lift. Then surprisingly quite chunky and herbal, with rich, thick passionfruit and caramel flavors that are not especially refined. Finishes with a noteworthy bitter edge and repeating, strong herbal notes. Not my favorite style of Recioto di Soave.”
