Tenuta Grimani's wines are unique because of their striking aromatic character. It's a small family-run winery that handles every step of the vinification process entirely in-house. The vineyards are located around the village of Ronca in the Soave region. The hills are of volcanic origin, with soils predominantly rich in clay. Ideal for producing energetic, mineral, and characterful wines. The climate is also exceptionally well-suited to viticulture. The mountains protect the vineyards from the intense cold. In summer, the fresh breeze from the cellars provides much-needed cooling, thanks to the abundance of sunshine. This also contributes to the wines' aromatic character.
The grapes are planted in fertile soil, primarily clay. The warm climate allows the grapes to develop perfectly. Warm days alternate with cool nights, and the mountains protect the vineyards. At optimal ripeness, the grapes are harvested entirely by hand. At the winery, a strict selection process follows, after which the grapes are destemmed and pressed. After fermentation, the wine is left to rest for several months before bottling.
The nose offers intense aromas of rose, lychee, and flowers. The palate is spicy and round with a very smooth, creamy texture. The mineral notes are complemented by fresh acidity, which beautifully balances the whole. The finish reveals slightly spicy notes of apricot and melon.
