Stephano Inama Soave Classico 2007, DOC (6)

The Producer

The winery was founded by Stefano’s father, Guiseppe Inama, who began purchasing vineyard plots in Soave in the 1950s. Guiseppe was convinced of the potential of Soave, and wanted to show the world what old vine Garganega was capable of. However, it was Sauvignon Blanc that first put Inama on the map in the early 1990s: these soils express themselves in remarkable ways through this variety, fashioning Sauvignon Blanc quite unlike any other. Currently, Inama have 25 hectares of vineyards in the Soave vineyards, from which they make both Sauvignon Blanc and also Soave Classico.

The Wine

The 2007 Soave Classico is quite pretty in this vintage. The wine reveals apricots, honey, flowers and almonds on a richly-textured frame. This is a fairly generous style of Soave that sacrifices a touch of aromatic complexity, but it is absolutely delicious all the same. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010.
