The wine
“I Palchi” is a geographical term used to indicate a series of wide terraces, lined with pergolas of old Garganega vines, located on Monte Foscarino (Soave Classico area). From these, since 2019 – thanks to their optimum exposition and meticulous vineyard management – we have obtained a special selection of outstanding grapes. The Soave Classico here produced, immediately revealed itself to be a unique wine: a new label was born.
Characteristics
Garganega: this variety was introduced in the Classic area 2,000 years ago by the Romans.
Fermentation takes place in big barrels (50%), in barriques (30%) and steel tanks (20%).
Once blended, the wine refines in bottle for other 6 months.
Combinations
The moonlight.
Label
The label shows a scientific study regarding the lunar eclipse: the Earth, situated at the center between the Sun and the Moon, casts a cone of shadow that obscures its satellite. The image is taken from an engraving in Vol. XXXIV of the “Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure” (1764), a monthly publication on the arts and sciences printed in London, which sought to be both instructive and entertaining for “the gentry, merchants, farmers, and tradesmen”.
In a historical context, 1764 is in the heart of the Enlightenment, a period in which man placed himself at the center of the Universe, and was thirsty for knowledge. From a symbolic point of view, therefore, this label represents the progress of the Inama family: an intellectual process in search of the maximum expression of Soave, as well as of a new level of purity.
