Recioto di Soave - Sette Dame - Ilatium

Ilatium's Recioto di Soave DOCG Sette Dame is one of the rarest and most precious expressions of winemaking in the Verona area.

Ilatium is a small Soave producer that interprets the terroir with artisanal respect and a modern vision, producing Sette Dame in extremely limited quantities only in vintages when the Garganega grapes reach perfect ripeness for drying. The grapes, selected bunch by bunch, are laid on traditional racks and left to dry for several months, losing much of their water and naturally concentrating their sugars, aromas, and structure. Fermentation is stopped before all the sugars are consumed, preserving a velvety, harmonious natural sweetness.

The color is intense golden yellow with amber reflections, bright and captivating. On the nose, it is intoxicating and complex: acacia honey, dried apricot, ripe figs, orange blossom, vanilla, saffron, and a distinctive mineral note of volcanic pumice stone that no other place in the world can produce. On the palate, it is velvety and sweet but never cloying - Garganega's natural acidity perfectly balances the sweetness, leading to an exceptionally long, elegant, and persistent finish.

Served chilled at 10-12°C in dessert wine glasses, it is one of the most extraordinary and lesser-known wines that Emporio Divino offers in its selection from the Verona area. A wine to give as a gift, to treasure, and to open on occasions that deserve something truly special.
