About this wine from the winemakers: 100% Garganega from the heart of the historic Classico zone, in the hills of volcanic origin that surround the enchanting little town of Soave, dominated by its imposing medieval castle. A vineyard in the hamlet of Le Volpare, on Mount Foscarino, in the historic area of the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone; the soils are of basaltic origin and the vines are trained using both the Guyot and Pergola Veronese systems.
Fermented for 5 days in stainless steel vats and matured for 6 months in stainless steel tanks. A pale straw yellow with brilliant green highlights, it has a delicate bouquet of acacia blossom and elderflowers. On the palate it is dry, agreeably harmonious and well-balanced, with notes of white-fleshed fruit and a tangy finish that is reminiscent of fresh almonds.
