The Soave Classico "San Michele" DOC from Cà Rugate winery is a white wine that perfectly embodies the Veronese wine-making tradition, offering a rich and intensely pleasurable tasting experience. This wine is produced in the heart of the Soave Classico zone, an area renowned for its volcanic soils which impart a unique minerality to the wines.
"San Michele" is primarily made from the Garganega grape variety, which is cultivated using sustainable methods to preserve the authenticity and purity of the fruit. The vinification involves a gentle fermentation at controlled temperatures, followed by a brief aging period in stainless steel to preserve all the aromatic nuances of the grape variety.
Visually, the wine displays a bright straw-yellow color. On the nose, it presents an intriguing and complex aromatic bouquet, with notes of white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruits like peach, and a slight hint of fresh almond. On the palate, "San Michele" reveals extraordinary freshness and balanced acidity that blend harmoniously with a medium body and persistent minerality. The aftertaste offers delicate touches of medlar and citrus, inviting another sip.
This Soave Classico pairs beautifully with delicate fish dishes, vegetarian plates like summer salads, or as an aperitif. It is also an excellent companion for lightly spiced Asian cuisine.
Perfect for those seeking both freshness and a certain aromatic complexity in a white wine, Cà Rugate's "San Michele" represents an excellent choice for expanding one's cellar with an emblematic example of Soave Classico.
