Description
Soave was one of the first Italian wines to be recognised as "typical and fine" in 1931 and Bertani was at its fore. The appellation lies in the eastern hills in the province of Verona. Known for its gentle soothing landscape of rolling hills, mild climate, and clay loam soils rich in minerals. Bertani grow their Garganega grapes for their famous Soave wine in the 'Cru' or Classicio area of Monte Tudo.
Cold maceration, soft pressing and initial fermentation in steel ends with 4-6 months' maturation on lees in French oak barrels. This Soave shows a lively and unmistakable personality. Mineral with notes of citrus and white flowers, the light ageing in wood gives the wine sapidity and crispness. The nose brings sweet scent of elder and pear blossom, developing into apricot, pineapple and melon. Try with light appetisers, soups, white meat and mild soft cheeses.
The Bertani winery was founded in 1857 and was driven by the spirit of innovation both in vineyard and cellar, while respecting the territory and the farming traditions in the area. The original Soave Bertani was the image of this wine in the world when it was served at King George VI’s coronation lunch in England in 1937. Bertani have continued to maintain this quality for over a century with a wine that defines Italian elegance.
