“Acinatium” Recioto di Soave Classico DOCG Recioto di Soave is the most historical wine produced in the area. In Roman/Medieval times it was called “Acinatium,” a Latin word which means “made with grape berries” because it was produced using only the best and ripest single berries of Garganega: an extremely careful and precise selection which is consistent with the Tessari philosophy of meticulous selection. This wine is the traditional wine of family gatherings and the most special of occasions.
