"A cult, ultra-premium example of Recioto della Valpolicella, the 2004 Classico (375 ml, around $169) is widely regarded among the greatest of its kind. The high price reflects both the painstaking production and the producer’s storied reputation; the wine rewards patience, typically needing at least 20 years of age to fully reveal the complexities that justify its exalted status, making it a collector’s-level bottle rather than an introduction to the style." - Vanessa Price
