Soave, Ilatium Morini, Doc, Campo Le Calle, Veneto, Italy

Tasting Note

Straw-yellow, the bouquet is intense, complex and fine, with overtones of flowers, fresh fruit such as apple, peach and a hint of exotic fruit with good mineral tones. The frankness of the varietal bouquet that is typical of the garganega grape and the elegant hints of ripe and dried fruit give this wine excellent harmony and structure.

Producer Information

The seven brothers and cousins involved in ILatium Morini changed their approach in 2004, when they decided to keep the best grapes from their vineyards to make wine themselves rather than selling to other producers. Since then, a torrent of accolades, including glowing reviews and an IWC gold for their Amarone, would suggest that they made the right decision. Now at the forefront of the ‘new wave’ of Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone production, their wines combine beautiful fruit concentration with fresh, bright acidity.

Today the winery cultivates 40 hectares with plots spread across Valpolicella and Soave. Healthy fruit is picked at peak ripeness for clear, defined flavours from trellises over 30 years old.

Production Information

Collected in crates in the first ten days of October, the grapes are left to sit for 15/20 days in the larder. They are then destemmed and macerated in the press for 12 hours, the clean must is then fermented at a controlled maximum temperature of 15°C for 20/25 days in stainless steel.
