Le Albare Monte Majore Soave DOC Classico (750ml)

The Posenato family has 1.5 hectares of Garganega vines planted and pergola trained in 1948. The Le Albare estate is in its 4th generation of production under the direction of Stefano Posenato.  This is a very traditional Italian winemaking estate located in the heart of Soave Classico.  Stefano only grows Garganega and he trains the vines using the traditonal ‘Pergola Veronese’ system, where the the vines grow first upwards and then outwards to form a canopy.  This ensures that the bunches of mature grapes are kept high enough above the ground to escape the low mists that can encourage molding and rotting.  He takes several precautions to render a wine “that reflects the identity of a ‘true’ Soave, with its original historical characteristics.”
