Ca' Botta "Dioniso" Recioto della Valpolicella

Luscious. Rare. A dessert wine with serious depth.
Ca’ Botta “Dionisio” Recioto della Valpolicella is a celebration of indulgence and heritage — a dessert wine born from centuries of tradition in the hills above Verona. Crafted with the same care as Amarone, it begins with carefully selected Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella grapes left to dry naturally for months. This appassimento process concentrates their flavours and sugars, creating a wine of extraordinary richness, complexity, and warmth.

Deep ruby in colour, Dionisio opens with an enchanting bouquet of dried cherries, figs, and dark chocolate, wrapped in notes of sweet spice and vanilla. On the palate, it’s velvety and luscious, offering layers of red fruit preserves, cocoa, and honeyed almonds that unfold in perfect harmony. Its sweetness is beautifully balanced by freshness, leaving a long, elegant finish that lingers like a fine memory.

For Irish wine lovers, Dionisio Recioto is a rare treat — a wine that turns dessert into an experience. Whether paired with dark chocolate, aged cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own, it captures the very essence of Italian dolce vita. This is not just a sweet wine, but a reflection of passion, patience, and the artistry of Ca’ Botta’s hillside vineyards.

Why we love it:
We love Ca’ Botta “Dionisio” Recioto della Valpolicella for its luxurious texture and beautifully balanced sweetness.

A single glass feels like the finale to a perfect meal.
