Description

Almond, Dry, Peach

Peach, honey dew and lemon citrus aromatics. Featuring body with a light feel, citrus fruit, light florals, fresh acidity and a fine mineral edginess.

Soave is a small commune in Veneto, part of the province of Verona. The region’s high altitude and cool climate create an elegant expression of Soave, imparted with mineral complexity by the stony soil. Soave is most commonly described as a dry white made from the Gargenega variety. This wine is from the Classico designation: indicating wines produced in the heartland of the Soave region around the sloping vineyards of Verona.

Sourced from vineyards in the hills of the classico area northe east of Verona. A soft pressing followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature. Fermented in stainless steel with temperature control before maturation on lees for six months to build texture and complexity.

2023 vintage in the Verona/Veneto region (Italy) was challenging due to a wet and cool spring, which led to disease pressure, and a hot summer with some hail damage in some areas. Even with a difficult vintage season, the wines produced show good fruit, sugar levels, and acidity.

Food Pairing: It’s full of bright fruit flavours and balanced by fine acidity ensuring a good match for a seafood risotto.
