White wine | Veneto, Italy
This Soave from Verga is a classic expression of the Veneto region's celebrated white wine. Crafted primarily from Garganega grapes, this wine offers an aromatic profile, an harmonious balance of flavors and a crisp, dry finish.
The history of Verga winery dates back to the late 19th century. It started as a small family business and has grown over the generations. The winery's location in Lombardy, though, produces also a range of wines from different regions of Italy, including Veneto, where Soave is produced.
On the nose, the Verga Soave presents intense and delicate aromas of white flowers and subtle notes of almond, creating a captivating bouquet that hints at the wine's elegance. On the palate, the wine reveals a dry and harmonious taste, with a refreshing acidity that balances the fruity flavors. Hints of citrus and green apple add complexity, leading to a clean and lingering finish.
The Verga Soave is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. Its crisp acidity and delicate flavors make it an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. It pairs beautifully with white meats and seafood, such as grilled chicken, poached fish, or shrimp scampi. It is also a delightful aperitivo wine, perfect for sipping on its own or alongside light appetizers. Consider serving it with fresh seafood dishes like linguine alle vongole (clams) or with grilled vegetables drizzled with olive oil and herbs. Its delicate flavors also complement light pasta dishes with creamy sauces.
Serve chilled, around 8°C, to enhance its refreshing qualities and aromatic expression. This wine is best enjoyed within a few years of its vintage, capturing its youthful vibrancy and fresh character. No resting time is necessary, it can be enjoyed as soon as uncorked.
