In the glass
Aroma: cherry, dried herbs, mineral earth, dried violet, light tobacco
Palate: sour cherry, clay mineral, dried herbs, light cedar, savoury spice
Soraigo shows what biodynamic Valpolicella Classico tastes like with minimal intervention: earthy, mineral, tart cherry with clay soil expressiveness and a savoury, food-friendly character that makes it a superb natural-wine discovery.
What it pairs with
-
Cotechino with lentils
The wine's high acidity and earthy mineral character complement the fatty, starchy richness of cotechino and lentils. -
Grilled trout with capers
The wine's saline mineral quality and acidity bridge freshwater fish and brine perfectly.
