Cantina del Castello - Soave, Veneto
Soave Classico Superiore Acini Soavi, D.O.C.
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.
