This interpretation of Soave Classico with a look back in history: Soave in an old style that recalls ancestral traditions and offers forgotten aromas and flavours. An assortment of old, southern vines, using already used barrels and minimal intervention in the production process.
Upon arrival at the winery, the grapes are delicately crushed, after which the juice is left to macerate with the skins for 3-12 hours. After 24 hours of static settling, the must undergoes alcoholic fermentation, 30% in stainless steel barriques and 70% in French oak barriques (previously used 2 or 3 times), where periodic batonnage is carried out for 6 months; the final wine is subsequently transferred to stainless steel. In September, the final blend is created, and in November the "Soave Classico Foscarino" is bottled. It then continues to mature for several months before being released to the market.
The nose is fresh, mineral but deep, with aromas of wildflowers (elderflower, iris and chamomile). The flavour is rich, complex, multi-layered, with an almond aftertaste. With time, these notes transform into even more complex sensations of pollen and dried flowers.
"The label depicts two heads based on those originally created by the English architect Inigo Jones (1573-1652), the first representative in Britain of architecture in the Classical style, inspired by Italian models, notably Palladio and Scamozzi. This image is so important to us that it has become our company logo: the expressions on the two faces, which were originally associated with love, here represent the two faces of wine: the sacred, meditative one on the right and the worldly and euphorically drunken one on the left. Wine, the perfect symbol of man's essence, can - depending on the conditions - be sacred, religious or lowly."
