Although the Tamellini winery was only established in 1998, the family has been making wine in the region for over one hundred years. The property embraces some 15 hectares of vineyards and all the grapes used to make the various Soaves, including the Recioto, are aged in stainless steel.
“Tamellini is an excellent source for generous, richly-flavoured Soaves that also deliver superb value for the money. The wines are made with the assistance of consulting oenologist Paolo Caciorgna. The estate certainly seems to be getting the most of its hillside vineyards, which are planted exclusively with the indigenous Garganega.”
Wine Advocate
"Only the finest, often smallest, most intense grapes are destined for the Recioto. The grapes
are picked in September and dried until March before pressing and fermentation. The result is an amazing sweet wine whose complexity and grandeur make it reminiscent of great Sauternes. The old gold in the glass introduces sweet dried fruit and cake aromas that are perfectly reflected on the palate, where the lively sweetness is kept in line by a striking vein of acidity that veers between lime, grapefruit and tangerine. Very fine with a silk texture and exquisite balance, this is deeply impressive."
