Tasting Notes
A single-vineyard soave which has been aged in oak for six months prior to bottling. Bright golden in colour with a perfumed bouquet of almonds, fresh fruit and hawthorn. Rich and full-bodied in flavour with accentuated mineral hints, excellent length and overall harmony. Recommended with seafood risotto or grilled fish dishes, this is an absolutely lovely wine.
Producer
Balestri Valda
At Balestri Valda the art of a modern winemaking estate combines with the best aspects of ancient and noble traditions. This land has always been considered ideal for vine growing. The hills to the north of Soave, the location of the estate's vineyards, are of basaltic origin with good texture and a high sand content which favours root expansion and absorption of nutrient elements. An optimum climate and southern exposure with many hours of sunshine ensures the grapes accumulate just the right sugar content. Garganega vines occupy 70% of the vineyards, Trebbiano di Soave 30%. These unique vines are essential for producing the typical wines of this zone, Soave and Recioto.
