Tasting Notes:
Textbook Soave with lemony fruit, nectarine and hints of white almond and chalk on the nose. Tangy and flavorful with fresh-toned acidity on the palate, the flavors and aromas build toward a harmonious and lingering finish.
Aging: The wine matures on its lees in stainless steel tanks over late Spring.
Winemaking: Only the best bunches of Garganenga, picked at beginning of October, are used, after a careful evaluation of the ripeness and health of the grapes. After destemming, maceration on the skins for 12 hours and soft pressing, the must is given a cold, static settling. Fermentation at controlled temperatures of 18°C.
Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif, matches well with a wide array of dishes, from hors d'oeuvres and fresh fish to white meats and young cheeses
