Why You'll Love It
Fresh and full of character, with white flowers, pear and an appealing salty edge. Five months on lees gives this Garganega a little extra texture without losing the breezy, citrus-led freshness that makes good Soave so versatile. Excellent with fish, pasta or simply before dinner.
About The Producer
Alessandro Benini makes wines from the hills around Verona, with Balinda coming from the slopes of Val di Mezzane. The Garganega vines grow on calcareous alluvial soils that bring freshness and a savoury edge, and the estate works with organic farming practices.
Winemaking Information
100% Garganega from the Val di Mezzane hills, Soave DOC. Organically farmed pergola-trained vines, hand-harvested around mid-September into 20kg crates. Grapes are gently pressed and the must is clarified by settling before around 10 days of temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. Matured on lees in steel for five months with weekly bâtonnage. Recommended serving temperature: 8–10°C. The producer's technical information does not specify an ABV for this 2024 bottling.
