Soave Clasico 2023 Balestri Varda

Soave Classico 2023

火山の土が刻む、ソアーヴェのミネラル。

火山性土壌のテロワールを素直に映した、ガルガネーガ100%のソアーヴェ・クラシコ。この地ならではのミネラル感が独特の存在感を生み、フレッシュでフルーティーな味わいへとつながります。発酵は野生酵母によるもので、SO2の添加は瓶詰め時にごく少量のみ。火山をテーマにしたラベルの王冠は、いまも景観を治めるソアーヴェの城を映しています。野菜やシーフードの前菜からチキンのメインまで。

Winemaking & technical data

Fermentation: Wild yeast is used in stainless steel tanks with the skins removed.
-Aging: in stainless steel tanks with lees.

About the label: The label uses a combination of colors and design elements to celebrate the volcanic theme and the accompanying minerality of the wine.
The crown symbolizes Soave's medieval history and the castle that still dominates the landscape.
In the centre, the volcano, the foundation of the terroir, is depicted, surrounded by the hills of Soave Classico, where Balestri Varda cultivates its vines. Instead of lava, clusters of grapes emerge from the volcano's crater, a testament to the Soave region's volcanic soil, a heritage dating back millions of years.
The bottom of the label depicts a vibrant, fertile, mineral-rich soil.
