Soave Classico, "Vigneti di Foscarino" 2011
Inama
An interpretation of the Soave Classico looking back to past times: a selection of grapes coming from the old pergola vineyards located on the East side of the Monte Foscarino, used barriques and minimalist oenology. On the nose, sweet field flowers such as chamomile, elder flower, and iris. Large and mineral on the palate with a finish of sweet almond.

Reviews
- "95 points. #18 Wine of the Year, 2013. A fine Soave producer who has been in the business for more than 40 years. Garganega is hand-harvested from a single 10ha vineyard on basaltic lava soils. Gorgeous nose of honeyed citrus and melon, and a nutty, toasty character. Savory notes mingle with citrus and stone fruit, and lead to a long, complex finish." (Decanter)
