Soave Classico Montesei

Founded in 2002, the family-run farm ‘Le Battistelle’ by Gelmino and Cristina Dal Bosco is located in Brognoligo, in the heart of the Soave Classico production area. Respectful of tradition and tied to its territory, it enhances traditional native vines and favors viticulture aimed at obtaining quality to obtain typical and clearly recognizable wines, capable of positively surprising the taster. The vineyard area is 9 hectares divided into many small vineyards, but the most important wine-growing area is Mount Battistelle, located in the Castellaro cru area that gives its name to the winery. It is here that, between rocky slopes and steep hills, where the soil is of volcanic origin, the Garganega matures and reveals all its potential, giving unique and unrepeatable wines elsewhere: a combination of structure and elegance wrapped in balanced acidity and marked minerality.

After being separated from the stalks, the Soave Classico Montesei grapes are delicately pressed. The resulting must is rapidly cooled and left to ferment in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. This process lasts approximately 15 days. Subsequently, the wine remains in contact with the fine lees for 4 months, refining and enriching its flavours. Finally, it is bottled and left to rest for a month

When tasting the Soave Classico Montesei, a beautiful aromatic persistence immediately emerges, with a return of the tropical fruity scents perceived on the nose. The structure is balanced, with good acidity that balances the softness of the wine. The finish is long and pleasant, with mineral and saline notes that leave a pleasant aftertaste.

Perfect for balancing delicate and fresh flavours. Its acidity and minerality make it an excellent companion for crustaceans, molluscs and white meats. It also pairs well with soft cheeses and fresh cheeses.
