The delicate nose has hints of almonds, blossoms and citrus. Clean fruit flavours with nicely balanced acidity and the typical Soave minerality. A really well executed wine that soars above it’s 80’s reputation for over-dilution.
Monte Tondo is a family estate located in the beautiful hillside vineyards of Soave. Here the soils range from volcanic to chalky, which alongside the varying microclimates, gives the wines distinct flavour characteristics and individualistic style. Small proportions of other varieties are allowed in the production of Soave, but Monte Tondo focus their concentration purely on Garganega. Garganega is a variety so versatile and easily culinary matched but also with the ability to produce complex wines with age-ability.
The Garganega grapes are hand harvested in the beginning of September. After being de-stemmed and crushed, the free run juice and is fermented separately from the rest but all in stainless steel before blending. The wine remains in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees for a short period before being bottled. The wine is released no earlier than one month after bottling.
