I° Ettaro Soave Classico Superiore DOCG 2020

£27.00

This wine is a profound reference to the roots of the Tessari winery: a reference to the first vineyard owned by the family, the “first hectare” their grandparents ever owned before founding the company.

 

The grapes are manually harvested from selected rows in the Coste UGA and then dried for about 40 days in their loft before fermentation.

 

The nose opens with a distinct hint of dried fruit, apricot, and pear above all, followed by volcanic minerality, rosemary and sage. It is an enveloping wine, with a notable aromatic persistence.

 

Neeche Comment: “One of the finest examples of Soave that I have encountered and will give you an appreciation of this appellation that you may not have considered previously”
