From minimum 60-year-old vines grown at 100-200 metres. Grapes are hand-picked and hand-sorted, soft-pressed and the must immediately cooled. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks and there is no malolactic fermentation. The wine remains on lees for six months before bottling.
Garganega: 100%
Pale golden-tinged straw. Apple and pear on the perfumed nose. Light and lively but flavorful, with sneaky concentration and precision to the orchard fruit and fresh herb flavors. A lovely entry-level Soave that shows just how good this wine can be when it’s not reduced to a Sauvignon Blanc look-alike.
Vivid straw-yellow. Delicious aromas of herbs, lime, almond kernel and jasmine. Bright, dense and juicy, with a glyceral but vibrant mouthfeel and very pure flavors of green apple, pear and white peach. Finishes long and mineral. This is a knockout entry-level Soave that boasts sneaky concentration and extreme purity of fruit. Absolutely lovely and one of the better Soaves at this price point that I have memory of in quite some time.
