| Wine maker notes |
| Carletto Ricco Dolce is a Sweet Red Wine, comprised of 70% Brachetto and 30% Malvasia Rosso grapes. These premium varietals are grown in the Piedmont Region of Northwestern Italy. This blend produces the ripe Ricco Dolce, which is full of flavor, yet soft and deliciously sweet. In order to create this rich wine, the stemmed grapes are placed in stainless steel tanks, where they are macerated in the skins at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which extracts the delicate aromas and rich color. The grape must is then separated and then stored at 32 degrees Fahrenheit until bottling. Just prior to bottling, the must is allowed to warm, which naturally starts fermentation, turning the grape must into wine. Once the desired alcohol and pressure level is reached, fermentation is halted and the wine is filtered and bottled. The result is a deliciously smooth and elegant sweet red wine. |

| Producer |
| Armando De Zan, owner of Candoni Wines and other prestigious brands, has created the Carletto label to honor his beloved uncle and role model, Carletto, who was awarded the esteemed title of Cavaliere del Lavoro - Order of Merit for Labor - for his outstanding contributions to viticulture. This national order of chivalry was established in 1923 by Italy’s King Vittorio Emanuele III. Carletto was a well-known agronomist with a passion for uncovering the most authentic indigenous Italian varietals, such as the preeminent Prosecco of Treviso, Pinot Grigio from Veneto, and others hailing from the region. Carletto Wines are Italian classics, and the creation of this label is our way of sharing these great traditions with our American friends. |
