Soave DOC
Fashions come and go, style remains. A Soave for large parties and famous historical receptions.
Garganega.
Vineyards on the western slope of the Soave hill, to the north of the Castle. Volcanic soils.
Some of the grapes, about 40%, are picked in September; followed by crushing and traditional fermentation without skin contact. The remaining amount of grapes are picked at the end of October, after a careful bunch selection, and are fermented on the skins, like they used to do back in the 1930s.
Ageing in concrete vats for 12 months.
This wine recalls the flavour and style of wines in the 1930s, which have come back into fashion today. It is a wine with a rich nose, with notes of peach, pear, apricot and gooseberry. A sapid and mineral palate, but soft and lingering at the same time.
A white with great personality and complexity, it goes well with flavoursome white meat dishes and intense-flavoured fish dishes such as creamed dried cod.
