About this product
Soave's finest expression — Garganega from 70-year-old ungrafted vines on volcanic basalt terraces above Monteforte d'Alpone. Fermented with indigenous yeast in old large oak casks; 12 months on lees. Deep golden; extraordinary complexity of almonds, apricot stone, lemon confit, chamomile, volcanic mineral, and a long bitter-almond finish. Develops magnificently over 10–15 years — transforming into something approaching aged Burgundy in texture.

complement
The wine's almond-mineral character and lees creaminess is the ideal match for scallop and asparagus; the almond purée creates a direct flavour echo of the wine's most distinctive note.

The definitive Soave Classico pairing — local wine with local risotto and local Asiago; the wine's mineral-almond complexity bridges the risotto's creamy richness; lemon zest echoes the wine's citrus finish.
