On the palate

A light straw colour, with fascinating silvery-green hues, it offers a fresh nose with the fruitiness of white peach and orange zest, vegetable hints of lemon balm and star anise, and flower notes of acacia and lily of the valley, as well as the mineral impression of damp stone that is so typical of all Soave wines possessing a strong personality; overall, a fine, well-balanced and pleasant bouquet of reasonable intensity. The palate is subtle and delicate, with a delightful acidic freshness, moderate alcohol and strong minerality; enjoyable and juicy, it has a long, clean finish, coherent with the notes perceived by the nose.

When young, thanks to its sapid minerality, it makes a perfect marriage with delicate egg recipes, such as frittata with courgette flowers or spinach leaves, omelettes, or poached eggs. Worth trying with mozzarella in carrozza, an indulgent deep-fried mozzarella sandwich. It is also excellent with delicate freshwater fish dishes, such as risotto with perch or whitefish, wild trout or white-clawed crayfish. After ageing for a further 2 to 3 years, is becomes the ideal wine for more sophisticated fish, such as salt crusted sea bass, or simply some fresh or semi-firm goat cheese.

The cellars of Santa Sofia are located below and to the side of Villa Santa Sofia, formerly known as Villa Serego. Begun in 1560 to a design by Andrea Palladio, the villa was built on commission from Marcantonio Serego, a highly esteemed nobleman married to Ginevra Alighieri, even if the grandiose project was actually completed only in a small part and what can be seen today is approximately one third of Palladio's original design.
