VINIFICATION

This wine is the most powerful expression of the characteristics of its vineyards of origin, on the Veronese side of Monte Calvarina, in the easternmost part of the Soave appellation.

A blend of vintages (2019-2016-2021-2020-2018-2017-2013) selected for their expressiveness and elegance. Each vintage was vinified separately at the origin. Until 2019, the three different varieties were also vinified separately; subsequently, for stylistic reasons and to obtain a more integrated wine, it was decided to proceed with the co-fermentation technique. After alcoholic fermentation, the different vintages remain on the lees for 3-4 months. The process continues with ageing in wood, in first-use barriques and tonneaux with medium or light toasting for about 8 months. The wine is then placed in steel tanks for further ageing. Finally, the vintages are blended together and the wine is bottled. Thanks to the blend of different vintages and nutrient-rich soil, this white wine has remarkable ageing potential.

TASTING NOTES

As in previous editions, the blend of different vintages gives the product great complexity. On the nose, distinct notes of chamomile, tropical fruits, white flowers and lavender. Gradually roasted notes reminiscent of dried fruit and white pepper make their way in balance with the aromas of tropical fruit and white flowers. The palate reveals great body and structure, with a mineral structure that invites a second sip.

MONTE CALVARINA
VINEYARD

Located in the eastern part of the Soave area, the Monte Calvarina vineyard lies on the volcanic hills that inspired the Hey French project. Reaching about 500 metres above sea level at its highest point and facing south-west, it covers vineyards aged between 20 and 30 years. The soil is basaltic-calcareous, a composition that favours the production of wines with marked minerality and distinctive character. The altitude ensures cool, breezy summers and significant temperature variations, promoting the optimal accumulation of noble substances in the grapes and enhancing their aromatic complexity. The varieties cultivated are Garganega, Pinot Blanc, and Sauvignon.
