What kind of wine is Soave Classico DOC “Otto” 2024 - Prà (screw cap)

Vintage Details

The temperature fluctuations between day and night during the ripening phase allowed for the preservation of fresh aromas and fragrance in the fruit, guaranteeing a dynamic and precise wine in taste.

Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, a technique that helps maintain the freshness and aromatic finesse of the Garganega.
