Le Poesie Selections

Le Poesie Soave DOC

WINEMAKER NOTES:  Very floral, almost late-harvest style, with dried pineapple and apricot, light honey and minerals. Full-bodied, with a subtle but well-ordered palate and a long, minerally finish. You will not find very many 100% Garganega Soaves, most are blended with other white varietals. The perfect wine for those who are tired of Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.

The grapes are hand picked and allowed to rest in cooling chambers prior to crush.

Garganega [gahr-gah-NEH-gah]  Prolific white-wine grape that is the principal variety used in Italy's SOAVE wines. Garganega is widely cultivated in Italy's VENETO region where it's been established for several centuries. It's also grown in neighboring LOMBARDY and farther south in UMBRIA. As with many grapes that are allowed high YIELDS, many Garganega-based wines-such as Soave-are generally bland and unexciting. However, controlled yields and careful winemaking can produce delectable, elegant wines that reveal Garganega's notable almond character. This variety is also used in the wines from the DOC's of BIANCO DI CUSTOZA, COLLI BERICI, and GAMBELLARA. Garganega is also known as Gargana and Lizzana.

Garganega is often grown on a trellis as illustrated in the picture below:
