Reimagining White Wines: The Soave Superiore DOCG Riserva Experience



In the heart of Upper West Side, Manhattan, Wine Affairs, a renowned wine distributor, invites connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike to explore an exceptional Italian wine – Soave Superiore DOCG Riserva. This wine is a perfect recommendation for those who appreciate the nuances of an Unoaked Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio but are eager to delve into something more intricate and full-bodied.


Soave Superiore DOCG Riserva represents the pinnacle of Italian white winemaking. Harvested from the clayey and tuffaceous soils of the Colognola ai Colli foothills, this wine is made using the unique 'Appassimento' method. This traditional technique involves a short drying period of the grapes, enhancing their flavors and aromas, leading to a wine that's rich and full-bodied yet devoid of the overpowering oak flavors.


The wine-making process further distinguishes Soave Superiore. Post the roller crushing and destemming, the grapes undergo a brief maceration. This step is pivotal in extracting the delicate fragrances and separating the free-run juice. Fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature, followed by aging in lightly toasted tonneaux. The wine is then matured in stainless steel tanks and finally refined in the bottle, ensuring a perfect amalgamation of flavors and aromas.


Soave Superiore DOCG Riserva stands out with its straw-yellow hue, a complex and spicy bouquet, and a full, well-balanced taste that subtly hints at vanilla. With an alcohol content of 14%, it pairs excellently with a variety of dishes, including hors d’oeuvres, pasta (even those with strong flavors), shellfish, fish recipes, eggs, and white or boiled meats.


This wine is a testament to the skill and passion that goes into Italian winemaking, offering a refined experience that challenges the traditional perceptions of white wines. It's an ideal choice for those seeking a wine that can stand up to richer foods, similar to an oaky Chardonnay, yet offers a distinct and more nuanced flavor profile.
