• 6 bottle of 2020 Bertani Soave DOC Vintage Edition

Soave was one of the first Italian wines to be recognised as “typical and fine” back in 1931. Bertani’s Soave was the image of this wine in the world. This Soave Vintage is a combination of traditional winemaking techniques from the past, but with a modern twist towards the future. With a slightly more intense colour and fresher and crispier palate, it is refined and elegant with aromatic notes of ripe fruits such as peach and pear and vegetal sensations reminiscent of sage, mint and elderflower.

It is an excellent wine for people who love white wines that are smooth with soft acidity. The grapes come from vineyards in the Soave hills. The very complex soils are of calcareous origin with a clay-loam texture trained with a classic Pergola system. The roots of the vines absorb more water and minerals, and different types of nutrients affect the final style of wine generating better fruit set.

Tasting

Bright yellow colour with golden highlights. Intense on the nose, layered, surprising and unique. Intense notes of white flowers and gooseberry bring to mind something original. It continues with notes of peach and apricot, suggesting its complexity and surprising personality. On the palate the acidity is vibrant, softened by intense notes of gooseberry, peach and apricot, all accompanied by a richness of taste that makes the aftertaste long and lingering.

Food pairing

A white wine with a great personality and complexity, it goes well with flavoursome white meats and intensely-flavoured fish dishes such as creamed salted codfish.
