- Similar to other Recioto wines, Recioto di Soave is produced using the appassimento method. The harvested Garganega grapes are dried on racks or in special drying rooms for several months, allowing them to concentrate their sugars and flavours.
- The fermentation process for Recioto di Soave is carefully controlled to preserve the natural sugars in the grapes. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks or wooden barrels to enhance its complexity and develop its characteristic flavours.
