Structured, aromatic whites with a round palate and fresh acidity, with aromas of fresh almond, white flowers, yellow apple, pear, citrus and volcanic mineral notes. Typical bitter almond finish. Made as noble dry whites (Soave Classico DOC, Soave Superiore DOCG) and sumptuous passito dessert wines (Recioto di Soave DOCG). Also in Gambellara DOC. Native Venetian variety from the volcanic hills south-east of Verona.
Veronese Veneto, four styles of red around Corvina. Classic Valpolicella: fruity and light (cherry, kirsch, spice), thirst-quenching. Ripasso "re-passed" over Amarone marc: fleshier. Signature Amarone DOCG: grapes dried 120 days (appassimento), a powerful, opulent red (candied cherry, plum, chocolate), 15-16%, great ageing.
