Solitario IGT Rosso Passito Veneto

Our Amandorlato is an enjoyable wine with the structure of Amarone and the aftertaste of Recioto. The main distinctive feature is the delightful hint of roasted almonds, both in the nose and mouth, before any other typical Valpolicella flavors. The drying process is longer than for Amarone and shorter than for Recioto. Also, popular as a meditation wine, our Solitario is a triumph of flavors, thanks to the drying of the grapes that allows the concentration of sugars and aromas, giving the wine greater intensity and complexity.
