Inama "Foscarino" Soave Classico DOC 2022 - Country: Italy - Capacity: 0.75

Foscarino, in particular, is the Inama family's interpretation of Soave Classico. A strongly territorial white wine made from pure Garganega grapes from old vineyards over 40 years old. The vineyards are located on Monte Foscarino, where they are rooted in basaltic-lavicolous soil, enjoying a particularly favourable south-easterly exposure. Once in the cellar, the Foscarino grapes are gently pressed and macerated for 3-12 hours.
