In the eastern part of the Soave appellation, the Franchetto family's winery is making a contribution to the territory's rising fame. Their wines' defining trait is the pronounced acidity that the grapes retain, even when perfectly ripe. Most vineyards reside on the volcanic RoncÖ hills, where garganega dominates. For durella, one must venture to Lessinia, towards Vestenanova, where grapes for sparkling wines are harvested. This year, the only wine produced by this Terrossa producer was the Soave Capelina '22, a white deeply rooted in its territory. Its light straw hue introduces aromas dominated by white-fleshed fruit, freshened by subtle floral notes. In the mouth, the wine truly shines, revealing a slender body that lengthens with determination and sapidity, thanks to the acidity that Calvarina imparts to the maturing grapes.
