Several years ago I bought several bottles of this 2013 @sartoriverona Fedi Bianco Verenese IGT. I drank all but one. Recently, I found the last one in my cellar. I’m so glad I put it aside. At 6 years old, this 100% Garanega from the hillside vineyards of the Soave region, east of Verona, has developed beautifully. This unique white wine is made semi-appassimito style, where they are dried for 40 days, pressed following a short skin maceration, some of the Must is aged in oak casks while the rest is aged in stainless steel, with lees aging 6-7 months following fermentation. A lot of effort for an $18 wine! It offers notes of grapefruit, lemon curd, crushed stone, bees wax, and stone fruit. I’m surprised how vibrant the fruit still is at 6 years. It’s rich, voluptuous even, with great texture that lays wide on the palate. Racy acidity balances out this dazzling wine. Pair with Thai, creamy pasta, or crab cakes. I wish I had more! @banfiwines #whitewine #winelife #saturdayvibes #garanega #banfiwines #sartori #italianwine #verona #youcansipwithus #winewisdom #wineonmytime #winetime #winetasting #womenwhowine
