"Recioto di Soave Classico Le Colombare 2009 is an exceptional sweet wine, made from the finest selection of sun-dried Garganega grapes. The wine is superbly silky in texture and delivers sublime aromas of apricot, honey, candied fruit and broken rock that bring energy and dynamism. Pair this wine with an aged Pecorino with honey or orange marmalade." (Wine Advocate 2014 - Robert Parker)
