What wine is Soave Classico DOC “Foscarino” 2023 - Inama

The Soave Classico DOC “Foscarino” 2023 - Inama is an elegant and characterful white wine, a symbol of Venetian excellence. It is born on the basaltic hills of Mount Foscarino, in the heart of the historic Soave Classico area, where Garganega – the native grape variety par excellence – fully expresses its personality. It is a wine that combines tradition and research, with a fresh, mineral, and highly harmonious style, capable of authentically narrating its territory of origin.

Vintage Details

2023 was a balanced year for the Soave Classico area. After a mild winter and regular spring, limited summer rainfall and moderate temperatures favored slow and even ripening. The grapes were harvested healthy and with perfect aromatic concentration, giving the wine clean aromas, excellent acidity, and distinct minerality.

Vinification and aging

The grapes, from vines over forty years old, are manually selected and carefully processed. After destemming and crushing – that is, the separation of the berries from the stems and their gentle pressing – the must remains in contact with the skins for 8-12 hours in a phase called skin maceration, useful for extracting aromas and structure. This is followed by a cold decantation of 12-24 hours, after which fermentation begins in old barriques, where batonnage (stirring of the fine lees) is performed every four weeks for six months. The final aging, for another six months, takes place in steel to preserve freshness and aromatic precision.
