Vicentini. Soave 'Terrelunghe'

Soave DOC
Grapes: Garganega, Trebbiano di Soave

A small yield that gave lovely intense, peach and almond fruit.  Unusually, it has a touch of tropical, lime laced flavour, very lovely! 12.5%

A beautiful bottle of wine, exactly how Soave should be.  The label was designed by a local amateur artist who is a friend of the family.  The vines are organically farmed, now over thirty years old, they are trained using a traditional pergola system.  Most of the vineyard is on alluvial and mid-weight clays.  The harvest is by hand and around 120 hl/ha is taken.  The grapes are sorted before a soft pressing and long fermentation in temperature-controlled steel tanks.  The wine is bottled at the tail end of winter using a mobile bottling line (a very professional, full time team of bottlers arrive in their purpose-built truck).
