"Vulcaia Fumè" Sauvignon del Veneto 2021

Vulcaia Fumè is a pure Sauvignon, Veneto IGT, proposed by Inama. Not the usual wine of the territory, but a very special interpretation of the most beloved of aromatic grape varieties. The idea, in fact, was to make the Soave territory known, not only through its classic wine, but with a completely different interpretation. Once in the cellar, the grapes are cooled in a cold room for a few hours and then destemmed. This is followed by cold pellicular maceration and alcoholic fermentation in heavily toasted French oak barriques, partly new and partly (the majority) second and third passage. Maturation then continues for about 6 months, during which periodic batonnage is carried out. The wine is then transferred to stainless steel to be bottled in November, where it is aged for a few months before being presented on the market. This Vulcaia Fumé has attracted considerable interest from the very first harvests because of its plumpness and powerful component of tropical fruit, coffee and citrus fruits and aromatic floral notes. A unique wine, it certainly requires a high level of pairing. Try it, for example, with smoked salmon, caviar or botargo. For lovers of local cuisine, this Vulcaia Fumé also goes well with a tasty onion soup or the classic baccalà alla vicentina.
