--------THE PRODUCER--------

Anselmi

Anselmi is without a doubt the best winery in Soave - though are technically not part of Soave. Roberto Anselmi took over his father's estate in the 1970s and decided to shake up the wine world by making wines full of flavour - a factor that was, and still is, often lacking in most wines made of the Gargenaga grape in the region of Soave. Anselmi's wines are now highly lauded and sought after the world over.

 

--------THE GRAPE--------

Garganega

Gargenega is the white grape varietal behind the zippy and citrusy wines of Soave in the Veneto of northern Italy. It has long been one of the most planted white grapes in Italy due to its bold lemon and lime flavour profile.

 

--------THE REGION--------

Veneto

Veneto is a region in the northeast of Italy. It is the region behind the famous red wines of Valpolicella. The wines of Valpolicella are made in a range of styles from dry and light (Valpolicella Superiore) to medium bodied and complex (Valpolicella Ripasso) to the fullest bodied red (Amarone della Valpolicella) and a sweet red made in a passito style (Recioto della Valpolicella). It is also the home to the sparkling wines of Prosecco.
