Massimago – Garganega – Milleduecento I.G.T. Verona

Crispy green apple slices, a delicate vine that bends in a fragrant citrus-scented breeze.

“I wanted to give my Garganega the opportunity to express herself in a different way. I wanted her to finally become a real lady; she introduces herself with a citrus bouquet almost grapefruit-like. The slow gentle drying of her grapes has concentrated 50 years of history into glorious essence drops. A brief spell in oak barrels has softened her while making her plumper and more rounded. The perfect combination should be… in front of the fireplace with a fish soup.”
