Tenuta Corte Giacobbe Soave
£16.95
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow with pale greenish highlights. On the nose, multi-faceted fragrances of plum and citron, tropical fruit and apricot, flanked by smooth chalk and emphatic wild herbs. Appealing and well-balanced on the palate, pushing through to a crisp finish hinting at bitterish almond. It displays a vibrant vein of minerality, gift of its valley terroir of origin.
Producer Profile
Tenuta Corte Giacobbe is based in Roncà, a small village a few kilometres from Soave, in the eastern part of the DOC area. After Verona and Lake Garda, Soave is the third tourist centre in the Verona area. Part of the village of Soave’s fame is linked to the wine of the same name.
Viticulture
The family’s most iconic wine, Soave Corte Giacobbe: crisp, clean, refreshing. The Garganega vineyards are located in the hilly area of Roncà, on the slopes of the two extinct volcanoes, Calvarina and Crocetta, east of Soave. The image on the label depicts the lava stone commonly found in their soil.
Winemaking
The harvest begins between the second and third week of September. After a brief cryomaceration (24 hours at 5°C) on the skins, the must ferments in steel at a controlled temperature of 16°C.
A minimum of 3 months in steel, with bâtonnage of the fine lees once per week, then ageing in the bottle for a minimum of 45 days.
