Product notes
This is an old-style Soave that offers forgotten aromas and flavors. The label features two heads, based on those originally created by the English architect Inigo Jones (1573-1652), inspired by Italian models, Palladio and Scamozzi in particular. This image is so important for Inama that it has become the company’s logo: the expressions on the two faces, originally to do with love, here represent the two faces of wine: the sacred, meditative one on the right, and the profane, euphorically inebriated one on the left.
Production notes
Grapes are delicately crushed. Juice remains macerating with skins for 3-12 hours. After 24 hours, the must undergoes its alcoholic fermentation, 30% in stainless steel, 10% in big barrel and 60% in French oak barriques (used 2 or 3 times), where periodic bâtonnage is carried out for 6 months. The latter wine is transferred into stainless steel. The final blend is created and in after bottled. It continues to mature for a few months.
Tasting notes
Fresh, mineral, yet deep nose, with aromas of wildflowers (elderflower, iris, and chamomile). Rich, complex, and multi-layered palate, with an almondy aftertaste. With time, these notes transform into even more complex sensations of pollens and dried flowers.
