Recantina is a rare and fascinating vine, officially registered in the ampelographic register only in 2007 and becoming DOC in 2012. Its history is closely linked to the "Pat del Colmel" company and to Lino Forner, known as Lino Pat, who recovered a plot of old vines almost half a century old, thus preserving this precious viticultural heritage. 

The wine obtained from this vine has an intense ruby ​​red color and very clear purple reflections. On the nose, aromas of red fruits emerge such as ripe blueberry, blackcurrant and violet, enriched by notes of cloves, sweet spices and toasted hazelnut. Recantina DOC is a decidedly tannic wine, which pairs beautifully with game dishes, grilled meats and mature cheeses.

Aged in French oak barrels for at least 15 months, the Recantina DOC offers an extraordinary tasting experience, thanks to its unique character and aromatic complexity. Let yourself be won over by the charm of this historic and rare wine and share a moment of unparalleled food and wine pleasure with friends and family.
