Gino Magnabosco owns one of the finest vineyards in the entire Soave area. For many years he dedicated himself to farming it while following another profession; then when he saw the opportunity to become a full-time wine producer, his life-style changed completely. He started to use more sophisticated bottling systems, and is in the process of fitting out a cellar that will be in line with the demands of a modern winery. His wines immediately stand out for their crystalline cleanness, to which Gino has added over the last few years, a better-defined character, especially in the Soaves.

(Garganega and Trebbiano - 12.5%).
Richard Bampfield MW:
Surprisingly warm, ripe aromas, with apricot notes, backed up by subtle use of oak. Amazingly expressive for a Soave. Tastes off dry on the palate as a result of the softness of the fruit and the touch of oak, but finishes clean, crisp and long. Extremely well made, very fine.

(Garganega and Trebbiano - 12.5%).

Delicate aromas, underlying pear and apple tones. Crisp fruit on the palate, enlivened by a touch of spritz. Very dry, very clean, very refreshing.
