Product Description
Corte Giacobbe Soave Superiore “Runcata” DOCG
100% Garganega. Corte Giacobbe Soave Superiore “Runcata” DOCG is gold-yellow with a generous bouquet of acacia and almond blossoms, flanked by notes of peach, apricot, camomile, vanilla, and with an intriguing hint of sulphur, lifted by a clean vein of minerality. The quintessence of its character is immediately clear upon entrance: dry and quite smooth,
with a fine supportive structure.
“Within our town limits, there are two extinct volcanoes that generated the entire Soave area, so volcanic rock is really concentrated here. But no place has more than Roncà.“
