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.

History

Soraigo was developed as Corte Sant'Alda's food-friendly everyday Valpolicella Superiore, made entirely without additions and with minimal intervention under Marinella Camerani's biodynamic philosophy.
