Gini 'La Froscá' Soave Classico 2021 Garganega, Veneto, Italy

The Gini family has cultivated the volcanic hills of Soave since the 1600s, making them one of the region's most storied producers. This La Froscá cru comes from 90+ year old Garganega vines rooted in calcareous and volcanic soils, where the combination of ancient viticulture and natural winemaking creates wines of extraordinary elegance and aging potential.

Tasting Notes

Delicate aromas of chamomile, lemon zest, and nectarine give way to a silky, perfumed palate with crisp green apple fruit and a tart twist of lime. The wine shows waxy textures with notes of smoke and peach stones, while the mid-palate reveals weight and integration. The finish is long and mineral, leaving citrusy concentration and a staining, crunchy minerality that speaks to the volcanic terroir.

Food Pairings

Grilled sea bass with herbs, pasta with clams, roasted chicken with lemon, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano
