Pra Soave Classico DOC 2007 Garganega

Description
This is Soave, but not as you know it. The Gargenega grape, when it's yields are restricted and it's given the attentions of some seriously talented growers and winemakers is capable of producing top quality wines that are complex, focussed and utterly delicious.

The South East facing vineyards are at 150 metres above sea level and the soil is volcanic. The vines are around 25 to 30 years old and the Pergola Veronese training system is used to restrcit yeilds and increase concentration Fresh, flowery and lightly yeasty nose. The palate is pleasently textured, viscous yet juicy, showing zesty 'leesy' intensity and classic nuances of almonds and white flowers. Crisp, incisive and minerally finish. A real treat with goats cheese, basil and roasted red pepper salad, asparagus or delicate fish with lemon juice.
