Soave Classico DOC Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne 2021 Gini

The Soave Classico Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne di Gini owes its name to the story of a young woman named Renza, who, threatened by brigands, was saved by a noble knight in the place where the grapes used to make this wine are produced.

The grapes are selected and harvested by hand at the end of October. The grapes undergo a soft pressing and a brief contact of the must with the skins, with immediate cooling of the must. Fermentation takes place entirely in large barrels and wooden barrels aged for at least 3 years. Then the wine rests for 12 months in 228 L pieces and in large barrels, in contact with its own natural yeasts, followed by aging in the bottle for at least six months.

In the glass, the wine appears bright gold-green. The nose is complex, rich in hints of ripe fruit, yellow flowers and exotic fruits. On the palate it is sapid and mineral, with notes of flint and cloves, ripe pear and yellow peach. Wine suitable for long aging.

The wine goes well with pasta with courtyard ragù, roasted fish, white meats and even aged cheeses.
