Cantina del Castello, Soave, Veneto

The setting of this winery is in a medieval palace in the central historic part of Soave. The owners, Arturo and Silvana Stocchetti, passionately tend to the work done with the vines, confirming and increasing the quality of their wines that already have the attention of the international market. Their plot of land extends from Monforte D'Alpone to Soave. That is, the two villages that act as boundaries for the government regulated zone. From between these boundaries, the Stocchetti's have thirteen hectares of land broken into cru areas. From these areas comes a total production of 13,000 bottles per year.

Soave Classico Superiore, D.O.C.
Soave Classico Superiore Soave Classico district. Here the clayish soil is of volcanic origin, even though the best vineyards show calcareous subsoil due to the sedimentary nature of the land. This Soave is straw colored with greenish hues. Its aroma is intense, delicate and floral (acacia and cherry blossoms); on the palate, the wine is well balanced; dry, round and soft, with good supporting acidity. The finish is long and velvety, with characteristic toasted almond notes in the aftertaste. Served slightly chilled, as Soave Classico is ideal with hors - d'oeuvres and delicate pasta courses. This wine is made with Garganega (90%) and Trebbiano di Soave grapes grown in the area. This wine can be consumed alone as well with fish and white meat courses.

Soave Classico Monte Pressoni, D.O.C.
Soave Classico Monte Pressoni Single vineyard located in the heart of the "Classico" district. Standing at 500 feet a.s.l., Monte Pressoni benefits from a south-eastern exposure and from a mineral-laden soil of volcanic origin. The wine is straw colored with greenish hues. Furthermore, it is intensely perfumed, with peach and acacia flowers. These scents persist and integrate with a seductively aromatic palate of fresh fruit and mineral flavors. Its finish is long and lingering, developing in a pleasant and harmonious aftertaste. Excellent aperitif wine, this is a Soave for fish and egg-based dishes that would also pair well with vegetarian courses.

Soave Classico Superiore Acini Soavi, Late Harvest, D.O.C.
Acini Soavi Acini Soavi is made with 100% Garganega grapes grown in the Monte Pressoni vineyard, allowed to over ripen on the vines and then late harvested. The wine spends one year in French barriques, where frequent batonnage is practiced. One more year of bottle aging completes the evolution of the wine, only then ready for sale. This unique rendition of Soave is a true classic that dates back to the ancient times when the harvest was not completed before the month of November and wood aging was the only way to preserve the wine. Its color is straw with fine gold tones, typical of very ripe fruit. Intensely aromatic in the nose, with fruity scents accompanied by oak and vanilla tones, Acini Soavi is full-bodied and richly textured in the palate, with a long finish and a toasted almond aftertaste. Ideal to accompany grilled seafood, this is a wine that would also accompany white meats and aged cheeses.
