Soave DOC Sereole, Bertani

Pretty, fragrant Soave, with a nose that's sweetly scented with pear blossom, apricot, and pineapple, and fruit dusted with spice in the mouth.

The grapes are harvested late, around the middle of October to capture the benefits of extended hangtime. After destalking and gentle crushing, the wine is macerated with partial skin contact. Fermentation is carried out in 75hl French oak vats at a temperature of around 16C. The wine is kept in the same vats after fermentation for six months of maturation on the fine lees. The wine is kept in the winery for three months of further aging after bottling.

Has body and a lick of oak making this the perfect accompaniment for anything from roast pork to fish in complex sauces.
