I've had Recioto (Speri?) and it was OK (actually the folks I served it too all loved it) - but I've never had the Allegrini (and I love [and drink] pretty much all of their wines...)...so where do you find this (I've never seen it...) and how much is it and is it worth the $$$ in your opinon?

I must say your descriptions sound scrumptious...like a liquid berry sundae!!

BTW is there any fizz to it? The Speri had a bit of an odd fizz - pleasently odd - and it was part of the crowd apeal I think....
