Introduction
The 2022 Inama Vin Soave is a beautifully crafted white wine from the Soave Classico region in Veneto, Italy. Made primarily from the Garganega grape, this wine showcases the region’s potential for high-quality, expressive whites. Inama, a family-owned estate, is known for producing wines with a focus on terroir and tradition, delivering a fresh yet complex Soave that is both accessible and elegant.
Terrior
Inama's vineyards are located in the Soave Classico zone, where volcanic soils lend a unique mineral depth and structure to the wine. The rolling hills and temperate climate of the region, with its warm days and cool nights, help to preserve the aromatic qualities and natural acidity of the Garganega grape, enhancing the wine’s balance and length.
Appearance
Pale straw yellow with greenish reflections, showcasing youthful vibrancy and clarity.
Nose
Aromas of ripe stone fruits like peach and apricot, complemented by citrus notes of lemon zest, hints of chamomile, and delicate floral nuances. There is a notable mineral undertone, reminiscent of wet stone, due to the volcanic soils.
Palate
Medium-bodied and refreshing, with flavors of green apple, pear, and lemon. The wine’s lively acidity is balanced by a subtle almond note and a soft, round texture, while the mineral undertones add complexity and depth.
Finish
Clean, crisp, and slightly saline, with a lingering note of citrus and a gentle touch of almond, providing a refreshing and satisfying conclusion.
