Happily revisited

Posted on March 7, 2023 by Roger Harmston Posted in Terroir Leave a comment

Garganega is best known as the white grape variety used to make Soave and Gambellara in Veneto, northern Italy. However in the early years of the 21st Century, DNA profiling revealed that it is the same variety as Grecanico Dorato, a mainstay in the vineyards of Sicily.

This wine is made with grapes harvested in vineyards, located in oldest area of origin – the commune of Monteforte d’Alpone – that with Soave, makes up the classic Soave area. The distinctive winemaking technology employed yields an elegant and velvety wine with a delicate almond-scented nose.

It opens slowly in the glass. It’s silky in texture with ripe orchard fruits and mineral tones that build.

It was October 2021 when we sampled this last and latest vintage made for a happy reunion.

The roasted veggies and the roast organic chicken were a great match.

For now and later

The vineyard is near Verona and we have a beautiful blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Tocai (Friulano), Cortese (Fernanda), Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon. 30 year old vines give us character.

A lovely yellow with green highlights.  Dry and Tangy.  Nicely full bodied and a long persistent after taste.

Enjoy it now, and stow it away for up to 4 or 5 years to enjoy later.

The 25% uplift

This is from one of our favourite groups. he name Masi is derived from Vaio dei Masi, the small valley, in the Valpolicella vineyard in Veneto, which acquired at the end of the 18th century by the Boscaini family, which still owns it to this day.

Since 1973, the Boscaini family and the Conti Serego Alighieri, descendants of the famous poet Dante Alighieri and owners since 1353, have combined to produce world-renowned wines on the prestigious vineyards of the Serego Alighieri, in Valpolicella in Veneto.

This Sauvignon Blanc 75 %, Garganega 25 % blend brings the aromas of a Sauvignon, paired with elegance in Garganega.  Long aftertaste and a lovely finish.

Dinner was decidedly Italian in flavours and structure.
