VINIFICATION

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

It is a blend of vintages (2020, 2022, 2019, 2018, 2024, 2015) selected for their expressiveness and elegance. Up until 2019, each vintage was vinified separately; subsequently, co-fermentation was experimented with. Following alcoholic fermentation, part of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation. Thereafter, all 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 approximately 6–8 months.

The wine is then transferred to steel tanks for further ageing. Finally, the vintages are blended into the final blend and the wine is bottled. Thanks to the blend of different vintages and a nutrient-rich soil, this white wine has remarkable ageing potential.

TASTING NOTES

A bouquet of fresh exotic fruit harmonises with notes of chamomile and sage on the nose. Rose buds herald the great freshness on the palate.

The precision of the nose introduces a complex palate, with the typical almond notes of Garganega and the herbaceous notes of Sauvignon Blanc. The volcanic minerality of the wine invites a second full 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.
