A delicate, pale yellow with fascinating silvery hues, it has a fine and harmonious nose offering citrus notes of bergamot and grapefruit, tropical fruit, pineapple in particular, with hints of dry herbs and thyme. The palate has a good texture, very fresh and pleasantly acidic with its touch of lime, that leaves a very sapid, almost marine impression in the mouth. The finish is long, clean, coherent with the nose and induces to take another sip.

Producer Information

Santa Sofia among the oldest Venetian companies 1811-, is located in the hamlet of Pedemonte , in the municipality of San Pietro in Cariano in the province of Verona in the north east of Italy, in the Valpolicella Classica . Its cellars are located inside the noble Renaissance villa built by Andrea Palladio in 1560, Villa Sarego, also called Villa Santa Sofia , which since 1996 has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site together with the other residences built by Arch. Palladium. Valpolicella is made up of three areas, distinctly different from each other due to their morphological and geological nature and to the vegetation present. The northern part is characterized by a mountainous area that forms the wide plateau of the Lessini, where pastures and livestock find their natural habitat, while the vineyards are located in the hilly area located further south. This area is the Classic one and the most suitable for the cultivation of vines and where Santa Sofia is located, while in the southern part we find a flat area that thanks to reclamation and irrigation works now boasts cultivations of vegetables, peach and cherry trees, as well as vineyards .
