An authentic expression of the Soave Classico territory, it is distinguished by a deep aromatic profile, with notes of apple, citrus, yellow flowers and hints of almond. On the palate, it is rich, round and dense, characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003emarked savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e and a clear \u003cstrong\u003emineral imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e. This Denominazione di Origine Controllata wine, fermented in wood, with a persistent finish, boasts remarkable \u003cstrong\u003eageing potential\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes originate from the hills of Monteforte d’Alpone, at one hundred and fifty metres above sea level, with a south-east exposure and ideal microclimates. The vineyards consist of \u003cstrong\u003ecenturies-old vines\u003c\/strong\u003e trained in the Veronese pergoletta style, rooted in soil with a \u003cstrong\u003elimestone matrix\u003c\/strong\u003e and thin layers of tuff, an essential element for the wine's flavour profile. The name of this cru is inspired by the legend of Renza, a young girl saved in these lands, where today the \u003cstrong\u003ecellar carved into the rock\u003c\/strong\u003e dedicated to maturation also stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins in late October with the \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches. The must undergoes brief contact with the skins, followed by soft pressing and rapid cooling. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in wood with indigenous yeasts, within large barrels and seasoned casks. Subsequently, the wine ages for approximately twelve months in \u003cstrong\u003ebarrels\u003c\/strong\u003e on its own natural lees. The process concludes with a final rest of at least six months in an environment with \u003cstrong\u003eoptimal temperature and humidity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name of the cru pays homage to the legend of Renza, a young woman rescued from brigands in these historic lands. Tradition has it that the young woman was saved by a noble knight in the very place where the century-old vines of this cru grow today. A further fascinating element is the location where the wine rests: an atmospheric cellar carved directly into the rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gini","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47226586562731,"sku":"61906","price":29.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/gini-soave-classico-contrada-salvarenza-vecchie-vigne-2022_61906_1_362c472b-75eb-4fed-8782-4034ee612110.webp?v=1782306972","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-ch\/products\/gini-soave-classico-contrada-salvarenza-vecchie-vigne-2022","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
