Rated 93 Points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Packaged 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. Monica Larner Wine Advocate, December 2021
Le Salette Recioto Pergole Vece 2015
The Le Salette Recioto Pergole Vece 2015 is a rich, sweet, and full-bodied dessert wine from Italy, known for its deep ruby color and notes of dried cherry, plum, and blackberry confit. It has a long, silky finish and is often paired with roasted meats or aged cheese. The 500-milliliter bottle is made from Corvina and other traditional Valpolicella grapes using the appassimento method.
The Appassimento Method
A traditional winemaking technique originating from Italy, involves drying grapes before fermentation, resulting in wines of enhanced complexity and richness. The term "appassimento" derives from the Italian word "appassire," meaning to wilt or dry.
Tasting Notes
Composition: Corvina, Oseleta, Rondinella, Croatina, Carvinone
Color: Ruby red with cyclamen accents
Nose: Dry fruit, forest floor with blueberry and violets gives way to hints of blackberry jam, cacao and tamarind syrup.
Flavor: Delicately sweet with balanced tannins, deftly balances sugar and acidity which gives a long finish while maintaining its freshness.
Food Pairings
Pairs well with desserts, like chocolate cakes and tarts, and savory dishes such as aged or spicy cheeses and certain Middle Eastern or Indian foods. It's also excellent with rich dishes like foie gras, venison chili, and certain fish dishes.
Veneto, Italy Wine Region
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.
Le Salette Recioto Pergole Vece Description
Le Salette
Owner: Scamperle Family
Winemaker: Franco Scamperle
Total acreage of vine: 49 (20 Ha)
Winery Production: 130,000 Bottles
Region: Veneto
In 1860 the local farmers decided to build the sanctuary of Le Salette as a votive offering to the Madonna when she freed their vineyards from the scourge of phylloxera. The sanctuary is a church which overlooks the village that it protects. It appears to be hanging on the rocks, and is surrounded by hills and vineyards. One of the vineyards extends to just below the sacred building and has always been the property of the Scamperle family, a historical winemaking family of Valpolicella whose property takes the same name as the sanctuary.
Indeed, for generations the Scamperle family has dedicated itself to growing grapes, and, over the years, to gradually increasing the number of vineyards. Today, the family owns 49 cultivated acres, situated throughout the most renowned places of the Valpolicella Classico DOC area: Fumane Cà Carnocchio, I Progni e Cà Melchiori, Sant’Ambrogio Conca D’Oro and in San Floriano Monte Masua. The type of grapes produced are the most classical types of the zone: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Oseleta, a small quantity of Molinara, and Croatina.
The vineyards are grown slowly and carefully, always respecting the local technique which is sensitive to nature, following nature’s rhythm to bring out the unique character of each variety.
