Oropasso IGT

Intense straw yellow with greenish reflections. Delicate with floral notes and hints of citrus fruits and yellow flesh fruits. Fresh, mineral and very well structured and well balanced. Long aging on lees imparts a depth rarely found.

The vines (60% Garganega, the Soave grape, and 40% Chardonnay) are located on a mixture of clay, sand and silt on East facing slopes. Cultivated with the Guyot system, average production is never more than 100 quintals per hectare. The fermentation lasts 15 days in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 13-14° C. The aging of the wine is quite lengthy, leaving the wine to rest on the fine lees for about five months in stainless steel tanks.

The Biscardo Family have been making wine from their base in Soave for over 150 years and are currently led by brothers Maurizio and Martino.
