Pra Soave Classico 'Staforte' 2019

"Staforte is made from a selection of the best grapes. The vineyards are 30-60 years old, planted in soils of volcanic origin, the vines trained in the traditional ‘pergola veronese’ system. No oak is used, but the wine is aged for six months in tank with ‘batonnage’ (mixing of the lees) using a special paddle installed in the tank. This is my kind of ‘reserve bottling,’. Not oaky, but more concentrated, more ‘vertical,’ longer finish, similar range of flavors and aromas (citrus, almond, apple), excellent crisp acidity." -Oliver McCrum
