Recioto di Soave DOCG, recognized since 1973, represents a sweet, golden expression of Veneto's white winemaking, crafted by 174 verified producers. Centered in twelve municipalities including Caldiero, this denomination distinguishes itself from dry Soave neighbors through the mandatory drying of Garganega grapes, which must make up at least 70% of the blend. This drying process limits the final wine yield to a maximum of 40% from a maximum grape yield of 9.0 tons per hectare. Uniquely, while a sparkling spumante version is permitted, the Classico designation is strictly reserved for the non-sparkling style, which cannot be released before September 1 of the year after harvest.
