De Valier Soave del Veneto DOC 2006
Winemaker Notes:
A Traditional Northern Italian Classic made with one of Italy’s most popular grapes
A true Classic from Northern Italy and one of the foremost wine producing regions for quality, and the production of Garganega (Italy’s #2 grape) and Soave, in Veneto.
Cantine Riondo is located in the municipalities of Soave and Monteforte d´ Alpone, where exists the original and ancient areas of production of Soave, known in Italy as the Historic Area; the winery is located in the heart of the region.
This wine is 85% Garganega and 15% Chardonnay and Aged for 12 months. Having wonderful character and structure, the wine displays a brilliant straw color with golden reflections. On the nose it explodes with a pleasant bouquet of white fruits that are wide and full, with attractive almond aromas; which are characteristic of Soave and Garganega.
On the palate the delicious flavors are consistent with the nose, crisp and fresh, merged with accents of minerals and a lingering note of almonds that add a wonderful dimension in this very fine white wine. Perfect by the glass or with fruits and cheeses, any fish or shellfish, poultry, pastas, barbeque and white roasted meats.
An excellent wine for all occasions!
