Veneto
L'Withering it is the process of natural partial dehydration of the grapes to obtain a greater concentration of colors, aromas and flavors in the wine. Since partially dried grapes also have a higher concentration of sugars, this system is in many cases applied to obtain sweet or highly concentrated wines. In Veneto, where the technique dates back to ancient Roman times, drying is normally also used for the production of dry wines, making them full-bodied, complex and relatively alcoholic. Entirely composed of grapes left to dry for a long time, theAmarone is the supreme expression of the genre, while the Recioto is its traditional sweet counterpart.
