Azienda Agricola Corte Moschina

Description

Corte Moschina I Tarai 2020

Grape varietal & region: 100% Garganega. The fruit comes from vines growing in the basalt-rich volcanic soils of the Roncà hills, Soave, Veneto.

Corte Moschina I Tarai is decisive and expressive. Medium yellow colour. Fruity bouquet of plum, apricot, mint and olive leaf aromas. The full-bodied palate is vertical with a mineral finish.

Winemaking process: Harvesting the fruit in mid-October. Soft pressing off the skins. Fermentation in stainless steel at 13°C for 18–20 days. Maturation in 30 HL wooden barrels and 300 L barriques.

Lush & Tropical Whites

Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.

Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
