Dal Forno Romano, Veneto Recioto, 1988 (375ml)

Recioto della Valpolicella is the Veneto's classic sweet red, made from grapes dried for months into raisins before fermenting, and Romano Dal Forno crafts it only in exceptional years with obsessive care. This half-bottle of the 1988 comes from a private collection and is fully mature. Nearly four decades in, the wine has traded fresh sweetness for tertiary complexity: dried fig, prune, leather, and dark chocolate. A small-format treasure for a single special occasion. Drink it now. Provenance from a private cellar.
