Soave Classico Colle Sant'Antonio 2020

Description

Still organic white wine from Veneto, 13% ABV, produced by Pra Graziano. 100% Garganega, 2020 vintage. A Soave Classico born from the passion of Graziano Prà, winemaker and winemaker who has successfully brought out the best in the Monteforte d'Alpone region. Harvested by cutting the vines during the first waning moon of September, the grapes are left to dry on the vine for about a month, and harvested in mid-October. Fermentation occurs at 18°C and the wine is aged in large 30-hectoliter Allier oak barrels for 18 months. The bouquet is of ripe yellow fruit, cinnamon, fresh vanilla, acacia honey, and chestnut. Intense yellow. Its freshness balances the significant alcohol content and ample body. The finish reveals sweet toasted almonds and candied apricots.

From this winery

• Oenologist: Graziano Prà
• Bottles produced: 410.000
• Hectares: 42

Graziano Prà had a calling to become a vine grower, and it is a road he followed with commitment and honesty: from the family vineyards, managed by his grandfather and father, to his training as an oenologist. The true change came in the Eighties, when the establishment of the company f.lli Prà began to take place, the company was initially run by Graziano and his brother, who worked in the vineyard. In 2007, however, Graziano became the sole owner, under his direction the company grew and the territories – Monte Grande (the company cru), Monte Bisson in Soave, and Morandina in Valpolicella – became more important.

"I admire wine, I respect it, and try to bring out what is already written in the soil it is born and grows in. For me, this interpretation of wine was part of a long road, along which my point of reference was the modern sense of a vine grower: the person who oversees and manages each step of the wine, from its production to its transformation, and finally to its sale."
