Harvesting is done in two passes. About 40% of the grapes are picked in September and kept cold; the remaining grapes are harvested in the first ten days of October. The October-harvested grapes undergo skin maceration on the cold must for 3 to 4 days, a modern interpretation of a 1930s winemaking technique meant to enhance freshness and structure. The wine is aged for 9 months in concrete vats, followed by 6 months of bottle maturation. Concrete is used to preserve natural fruit freshness and let the volcanic terroir express itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense straw-yellow color with golden nuances with ripe fruit aromas of peach, pear, and apricot, supported by delicate floral and citrus hints. The palate is plush, caressing with a well-rounded texture, balanced by a savory, stony mineral finish and good length.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling (91 Points): \u003c\/strong\u003eReviewing the 2023 vintage, Suckling called it \"intense and very aromatic for a Soave,\" highlighting a complex nose featuring hints of apricot, salted lemon, and a chalky, flinty minerality. He noted its medium body, silky texture, and a long, crisp acidity drive. For other recent vintages like the 2021, he praised it as \"clean and crisp\" with distinct bitter-lemon and almondy mineral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Reyes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67804135686429,"sku":null,"price":44.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1528\/1349\/files\/BertaniSoaveClassico2023.png?v=1792188679","url":"https:\/\/killervino.com\/products\/soave-classico-original-vintage-edition-2023","provider":"Killer Vino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
