Coffele, Castel Cerino Soave Classico, 2018

Immediately considered “one of the most promising Veneto winemakers”, Alberto qualified from the prestigious Agricultural Institute of San Michele all’Adige and started his own career in the family business. He was only 30 years old when he proudly received the first major award for his work, the Tre Bicchieri [Three Wineglasses] for the Soave Classico DOC Ca’ Visco 2003, a source of great satisfaction for a wine dedicated to his mother Giovanna and his ancestors. He received the same award in the two following years, a significant achievement but also a new challenge for a painstaking winemaker who every day takes care of each aspect from the ripening of the grapes to the winemaking processes. With one goal – getting the best out of the vineyards.
This wine is produced in the heart of the Soave Classico region in Veneto, Northern Italy and is made out of 100% Garganega - a late ripening grape varietal that can produce both still and sweet wines (Recioto di Soave).
"Pale lemon-gold. Smoky and meaty, with subtle sage-like herbal notes and apple fruit. Spicy and smoky sage and apple palate with phenolic grip, a touch of salt and a medium-long finish." 16 pts, Jancis Robinson
"Gorgeous aromas of crunchy green apple, white flowers, sage, along with a touch of almond and smoke. Well rounded, crisp and refreshing with a medium+ finish. Delicious." Angus, Wine Guru
