VENETO ROSSO PASSITO – Il Biroccio
Villa Crine’s Biroccio wine is a perfect harmony between sweet and dry.
The wine is the result of the same technique used to make the Ripasso wine. Rather than using the skins of the Amarone, the skins of the sweet Recioto wine are added to the ValpolicellaSuperiore lending their sweetness and flavour. The resulting wine has a rich bouquet with fragrant aromas of black cherry, sour cherry, and currents enriched with notes of rose flowers, dark chocolate, and a hint of sweet spices like vanilla. It has a long smooth finish. It’s a wine that’s often appreciated even by those who don’t normally appreciate sweet wines. It’s ideal as an accompaniment for conversations between friends.
