Passione e Sentimento (Passion and Feeling) celebrates the city of love par excellence, Verona, not in this case only because of its history and monuments, but also because of its wine. This white wine is obtained with the appassimento technique. Pale yellow in colour. This is an alluring white wine. Intense aromas of citrus fruits, almond and peaches on the nose. This wine has a palate which is refreshing and well balanced with a lingering finish.

This delightful Mysterious Diggings Pinot Gris features a pale yellow colour with green tinges throughout. The fragrant bouquet offers enticing floral aromas which gives way to a lush and intense palate filled with juicy fruit flavours and subtle spicy notes. These flavours and aromas are balanced by a sharp mineral acidity, altogether leading to a clean, dry and lingering finish. This wonderful Pinot Gris has the potential to be cellared for 3 to 5 years from vintage, tasting great with fresh vegetables, pastas, fish and light salads.

Crystalline and pure colour with a light green shimmer and silver flashes. The nose is refreshing and precise with green apples, white peaches, fresh moss and spring flowers, such as primrose and daffodil. On the palate it is a well-balanced and pleasant dry wine which is also fresh and pleasingly well-rounded. It is lively and zippy, but still retaining subtlety and elegance. A fine successor to the previous vintage. The grapes are taken in small tubs to the presses, which are filled by gravity, without any pumping or other mechanical intervention. After pressing, the must is decanted for a few hours, then fermented in temperature-controlled barrels or vats (at 18 to 24°C). The wine is racked just once, before natural clarification during the course of the winter. The following spring, the wine is lightly filtered just before bottling, and the bottles are then aged in our cellars until released.

Pale straw colour. Light, ripe pear aromas. Medium body. Round, soft and well balanced. Pleasant stonefruit flavour, finishing with cleansing acidity.

Light straw-yellow with greenish highlights. A full and elegant bouquet of lemons, white flowers, and green apples, with citrus flavours on the palate, a soft, supply roundness, finishing with a pleasant fruit sweatness and an attractive, green apple peel crunchiness.

WINEMAKING equals The grapes are partially dried on the vines before the harvest, this operation takes place 2 – 3 weeks before hand picking and concentrates the sugars within the grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at temperature controlled between 15 – 17 Degrees C for 15 days. Before the end of the alcoholic fermentation a part of the must is transferred in barrique of second use in order to finish the fermentation and the Malolactic fermentation is also allowed (it is instead avoided for the remaining fermented must that stays in steel tanks by lowering the temperature). The 2 wines are then assembled and transferred in steel tanks where they remain in contact with their lees for approximately 2 months. COLOUR equals Straw yellow with a tinge of green. BOUQUET equals Perfumes of chamomile, tropical fruits and hints of toasting. FLAVOUR equals Balanced on the palate, with an almond aftertaste which is characteristic of the Garganega variety. Great structure with crisp and bright acidity, which ensure ageing potential and evolution. RECOMMENDED WITH equals This Soave pairs well with antipasti, delicate dishes such as tagliolini with shrimp of seafood risotto, as well as fish entrees such as seabass and crab. SERVING TEMPERATURE equals 10 – 12 degrees C.
