Notes:
Stefano Inama's whites continue to define the Soave terroir. 2008 Vigneti di Foscarino is a superb if still tightly wound version of this benchmark wine. It is sourced exclusively from a single hilltop vineyard that is the jewel in this estates crown. An absolutely superb Italian white with an enticing, lifted nose, showing succulent aromas of honey, apricot and herbs. The honeyed palate shows stone-fruit flavours, a slight hint of spice and a long intense finish. This is a complex and powerful Italian white that’s not to be missed. Fermented and matured in old French barriques this will age for a decade and is sure to be the biggest surprise for those who feel Italian whites just cannot make the grade.
