This is an intensely flavorful and layered white with aromas of acacia honey, salted lemons, white rosemary, thyme, white pears and white pepper. Medium-bodied, sleek and concentrated, with a wild-herb edge to the fresh fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
The Calvarino vineyard is in the heart of the Soave Classico zone and represents the core of the ancient family estate, bought at the beginning of 1900. The soil here dates back to the tertiary era and is rich in clay and tufaceous basalt which give the wine an attractive savoury, mineral quality.
The name ‘Calvarino’ derives from ‘Little Calvary’ reflecting how difficult the soil is to work and the tortuous path which winds from top to bottom.
The label was first released in 1971 and is symbolic of the most traditional, most characteristic wine from the Soave area. Garganega: 70%, Trebbiano di Soave: 30%
The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed with the free run juice fermented separately between 16-18°C in glass-lined cement tanks. The wine ages in glass-lined cement tanks for a year. During this period, it remains on the fine lees for increased richness and complexity. After bottling, it ages slowly in the bottle for a few months before release.
