Description

Perfect fruit definition in this firm but hugely refreshing Italian white.

100% Garganega grape variety grown on a mix of limestone and sandy soils. Wonderfully clean, fresh and precise with notes of almond blosson and camomile flowers. Elegant and delicate yet convincing and authentically styled. Crisp, dry and refined, the wine’s subtle, charming expression is a lovely example of quality Soave produced by attentive, sensitive growers working their vineyards with respect and dedication.

Taste

Good body, Ripe pear and melon

Aroma

Floral and fruity, Saline

Located in the Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone region of Verona, Italy, Fasoli Gino was founded back in 1925 by Amadio Fasoli. It was then a fruit and vegetable farm that made some wine for local Veronese bars. Fasoli Gino turned to organic viticulture in 1980 and since 1984 all of their land has been farmed organically. Since 2006 the family have also been practising Demeter-certified biodynamics. The business is currently headed by Matteo Fasoli, the third generation to hold the reins here. They continue to apply know-how passed down over generations alongside modern techniques to ensure we produce consistently high-quality wines. Today they use this organic-biodynamic approach as it restores the balance that already exists in nature. By reinforcing the plants and revitalising the soils it encourages the biodiversity the vines need. The Fasoli family are committed to treating their land with the utmost care to ensure its health for future generations. The nature of the land (partly clay and partly a mix of stones and sand), and the favourable microclimate (the wide and sunny valley, protected from the north by the Lessini mountains) make the area particularly suitable for vine growing. Currently the estate cultivates 14 hectares of vineyards divided into seven parts, with the type of land varying from one plot to another. Some of their wines are named after plots they come from, such as Orgno and Calle. The type of land in each plot has helped determine which varieties should be planted. In the clay soil there are 30–40-year-old Garganega vines, traditionally used for Soave wine. Where the soil is stony and sandy, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir have been planted. This estate is known for its fantastic organic Soave, Valpolicella, Merlot and Amarone wines.

  1. Holiday Romance

    Found this wine whilst I was on Holiday in Veneto, I’d never tried Soave before and was really impressed. So happy to be able to find it in the UK.

  2. Dull Italian restaurant wine

    I’d hoped for this price to have something special, but I’m afraid this reminded me of the kind of dull house white in a high street Italian. We ended up using half the bottle to cook with.
