Gini Contrada Salvarenza Soave Classico Vecchie Vigne 2015
Soave, Verona, Veneto, ItalyContrada Salverenza is all about limited production and in some cases, 80-year-old vines. The name originates from the area known as Salvarenza (Save Renza), a legend of the maid Renza who was saved from brigands by a noble knight. This particular label is made with garganega grown over limestone, hand-picked and fermented in barriques for nine months before spending another six months in bottle. The colour is golden and the nose and palate explosive with rich, ripe, mineral-led sweet fruit with tropical undertones. The finish is intense and persistent with peach and pear highlights and a touch of sea salt. Perfect now but will age through 2022.Tasted: 17 July 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $57.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
