#SoavePreview2013
Il Soave – Preview 2013: Here is the “first preview” of the Soave
From May 22nd to 24th, in the historic heart of the medieval hamlet, takes place the preview of the Soave Wines as part of Vulcania: the international forum of the white wines from the volcanic soil which, from this year forward, is called Volcanic Wines.
What’s the style of Soave wine? What are the identity traits that best define it? When one can talk about “representative wine” for a denomination? These are the questions that will kick off the “Soave Preview 2013” that will be held in Soave from May 22nd to the 24th. The event, conceived by the Soave Consortium, is part of Vulcania, the international forum of the white wines from the volcanic soil which, starting from this year, will be called Volcanic Wines in homage to its international vocation.
The one planned is a preview of the Soave 2013, starting from the analysis of a year really special in its kind, starting from its seasonal pattern.
A journey which will touch some of the most beautiful panoramic views of the area from the Illasi Valley to the Tramigna Valley, from the Alpone Valley to the Costa di Roncà.
The aim is to outline the profile of the 2013 season and to define a sort of identity card of the Soave to be related to operators, journalists and opinion leaders.
The Soave 2013, which will be tasted in preview, presents a very well balanced flavor profile with notes of citrus, tropical fruit and ripe white fruits all well combined with the floral bouquet.
The floral array is in fact the predominant characteristic of 2013 and the trait that best defines the identity of this Soave as a whole.
Here is the beginning of the works that will split in three stages dedicated to as many themes: origin, style, values.
