Our Soave is a varietal white wine produced from the Veronese Garganega grape, from low-yield vineyards and hand-harvested at three different ripeness levels. A careful fermentation in stainless steel tanks is followed by bâtonnage over fine lees. Lepiga renews our centuries-old Soave wine tradition.
A pleasant surprise to the palate with both freshness and depth, giving the wine an intriguing and balanced structure. Intense straw-yellow color. At the nose, a complex aroma with hints of exotic and summer fruits, pears, peaches, herbs, almonds, and a generous minerality, with traces of toasted vanilla. The taste is rich and compact, sustained by freshness, persistent and with a distinct flavor that actually intensifies the softness.
