SOAVE DOC “IL SELESE” ~ 2024
I Stefanini winery, established in 2003, specializes in steel-aged, aromatic white wines that feature the Garganega grape, an indigenous varietal of the Soave region. Owned and operated by the Tessari family, the winery was named after distant ancestor Stefano Tessari, whose family began experimenting with agriculture and grape cultivation as far back as 1800.
Appellation: Località Peraro, Monteforte d’Alpone (VR)
Grapes: 100% Garganega – ABV 13.5%
Tasting notes: The colour is straw yellow with greenish reflections. On the nose, it is delicate and flowery, with notes of elderberry and hawthorn, together with juicy sensations of ripe peach, apricot, and tropical fruits. On the palate, it is dry, medium-bodied, and smooth with a pleasant long mineral finish.
Pairings: Perfect with first light dishes and second dishes of fish and vegetables.
