Corte Adami Soave

Corte Adami Soave is delicious and direct, pale yellow green in colour with a rich and fragrant nose redolent of white flowers, white fruits and delicate citrus. Fortunately, there is plenty more of the same aromatic intensity on the palate, balanced by a lively acidity and upright mineral nuances courtesy of the area's volcanic soil. Harmonious, honest and absolutely delicious. If lingering memories of the vinous crimes of Soaves past are putting you off trying a modern example, this is the wine to quell your fears.

Produced in Corte Adami's Castelcerino vineyard from vines averaging 40 years of age, the volcanic soils here are ideal for the Garganega and Trebbiano di Soave grapes which give the essence of their character to this wine. Although fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel, two months of lees contact adds an extra dimension to this modern Soave and it is far removed from the thin, weedy wines of yesteryear that you might still associate with this region.
