Which grape is the principal variety used in Recioto Valpolicella?
Correct Answer:
Corvina
Explanation:
In Recioto Valpolicella the grape that provides the backbone of the blend is Corvina. Its high acidity and bright red-fruit character give the wine structure and freshness that balance the rich sweetness from drying the grapes (appassimento). Rondinella often accompanies Corvina, adding aroma and depth, while Molinara is less central in modern blends. Sangiovese isn’t a traditional main variety in Valpolicella, so it isn’t the principal grape here. Therefore, Corvina is the principal variety used.
