The soil is loamy-clayey, alkaline, rich in mineral nutrients, calcareous and located on very ancient marls: the presence of fossils is frequent. The permeability of the soil is average and its capacity to retain water is very low. Overall, it is a terroir capable of guaranteeing the wines greater elegance and ageing capacity.Vinification: At the end of December, the grapes that have spent the longest time in the fruit cellar are destemmed, selected on the sorting table and then crushed. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out up to the desired alcoholic strength, with several daily pumpings over to ensure that the must has proper contact with the skins. This is followed by racking, static decantation of the resulting wine and ageing.Tasting: Pale ruby red colour. On the nose hints of rose give way to mulberry, candied orange peel, clove, date and dried fig with mint streaks. In the mouth, it is a Valpantena grape juice: fresh, pleasantly sweet, with an incredible lingering aromatic finish. Excellent drunk alone as a companion wine.Combinations: Generally considered a meditation wine, to be paired with dark chocolate desserts. Recioto di Costa Arènte lends itself to unusual pairings, such as savoury dishes like club-sandwiches with Pastrami.
