WINE DESCRIPTION

Folonari Soave is a white wine produced by the Folonari family, who have been making wine for over 200 years. The wine comes from the Soave appellation in the Veneto region of Italy, which is known for its volcanic soil and cool climate. The grapes used to make this wine are grown on hillside vineyards, which provide excellent drainage and sun exposure. The winemaking process involves gentle pressing of the grapes and fermentation in stainless steel tanks, which helps to preserve the wine's fresh and fruity character. The resulting wine is crisp and refreshing, with notes of citrus and green apple, making it a perfect pairing for seafood and light pasta dishes.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Folonari Soave is a delightful Italian white wine made from the Garganega grape.It has a light, delicate nose of green apples, pears, and a hint of almond. The palate is crisp and refreshing, with flavors of melon, lemon zest, and a slight minerality. The finish is soft and clean, with a pleasant hint of almond. Enjoy with seafood, salads, or simply on its own.

ORIGINS

Winery: Folonari

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
