White wine | Veneto, Italy
Allow me to introduce you to a remarkable wine from the heart of Veneto, Italy: Cecilia Beretta's "Soraie" Soave Classico. This is not just a wine; it’s an experience, a journey through the sun-drenched vineyards and the time-honored traditions of a family deeply rooted in the land.
Cecilia Beretta is not just a winery; it’s a legacy. Named after the visionary matriarch who revitalized the estate in the 1980s, this winery embodies a commitment to quality, sustainability, and a deep respect for the unique terroir of the Valpolicella Classica region. The Tessari family, with their generations of winemaking expertise, has transformed Cecilia Beretta into a beacon of excellence.
"Soraie" is crafted from 100% Garganega grapes, the signature varietal of the Soave region. These grapes are carefully selected from the estate's vineyards, where they bask in the ideal combination of sunshine and cool breezes. The winemaking process is a delicate balance of tradition and innovation, ensuring that the wine retains its natural character and expresses the unique qualities of the terroir.
This wine is a symphony of delicate aromas and flavors. On the nose, you'll be greeted by a bouquet of white flowers, such as jasmine and acacia, intertwined with subtle notes of almond and a hint of citrus. On the palate, "Soraie" is a refreshing burst of crisp acidity and minerality, complemented by the gentle sweetness of ripe pear and the subtle nuttiness of almond. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lingering impression of freshness and harmony.
This wine is incredibly versatile, pairing beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its crisp acidity and refreshing minerality make it an excellent match for seafood, particularly grilled fish, shellfish, and sushi. It also complements creamy pasta dishes, light salads, and fresh cheeses. For a truly authentic experience, pair "Soraie" with traditional Venetian dishes such as Risotto al Pesce or Sarde in Saor.
Imagine yourself on a warm summer evening, overlooking the rolling hills of Veneto, with a glass of "Soraie" in hand. The sun is setting, casting a golden glow over the vineyards, and the air is filled with the gentle sounds of nature. This wine is not just a beverage; it’s an invitation to savor the simple pleasures of life, to connect with the land, and to celebrate the art of winemaking.
