Veneto At a Glance

Veneto is an important wine region in the northeastern corner of Italy. In terms of geography, culture, and wine styles, it represents a transition between the alpine, Germano-Slavic end of Italy and the warmer, drier, more Roman lands to the south.
Score: 89Vintage 2017Vinous MediaSweet herbs, wild strawberries and violet florals create an alluring bouquet as the 2017 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece opens in the glass. This is a vibrant and fresh expression, with potent red berries and minerals enlivened by juicy acidity. It leaves a lightly structured feel on the palate, yet tapers off incredibly fresh with hints of violet pastille.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 95Vintage 2015James Suckling MagazineLots of fresh, as well as dried black fruit floods the nose and palate here, as you would expect from an Amarone. Some herb and spice, too. Full-bodied with firm tannins that are still holding a tight rein on the fruit, yet carry it through to a long, long finish. Top-quality Amarone here. Best after 2022.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2015Wine AdvocatePackaged in a petite 500-milliliter bottle, the Le Salette 2015 Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Pergole Vece sits heavily in the glass with rich concentration and a visibly viscous appearance that is driven by the extract and the residual sugar found in this dessert wine. The bouquet is packed tight with dried cherry and plum, and there are plenty of sweet aromas like canned fruit and sticky blackberry confit. The finish is smooth and silky, but you absolutely feel the weight of all that dried fruit.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 93Vintage 2011Wine and SpiritsLe Salette’s 2011 Recioto is luscious and warming, its cherry-pie flavors layered with notes of licorice, fig and molten chocolate. The texture is smooth and glossy, the flavors spiced with notes of anise and cardamom, yet ample acidity and bright orange-zest notes prevent it from crossing into treacly territory. The Christmas-cake flavors make this wine a perfect after-dinner holiday treat.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
