Danese Soave Classico 2019
Soave, Verona, Veneto, ItalyThe Danese family founded a wine business in the early fifties in the tiny town of Roncà, situated in Verona province in the area of the Lessini Mountains National Park, near to the Soave and Valpolicella DOC areas. It began as a traditional wine merchant business, selling bulk wines, but in the 1980s, three cousins of the Danese family founded the company’s first production facility. Since 1997, Cantina Danese has been fully owned by Mario Danese, an original partner, and his son Luca Danese. Their goal is to constantly evolve to remain modern and up-to-date while producing wines “that everyday people can drink every day.” The Classico comes off the hillside communes of Soave and Monteforte D’Alpone, where the soils are volcanic pure lava basalt, the only soil of its kind in Northern Italy. The blend is garganega and trebbiano di Soave. The colour is a pale yellow in the glass, the nose a stony mineral affair with floral and apple. The palate is firm and clean with more mineral, pear, and apple, and a persistent finish with length. I found this better on the cooler side. Perfect with vegetable pasta or seafood dishes. Classico on an Italian wine label refers to the old, historic, original center of a region, often with a history that traces back to Roman times. It is in these historic vineyards that often the best wines of a region are produced.Tasted: 17 March 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $20.99 | 750ml | estimated retail in select private wine shops |
