{"product_id":"soave-vintage-bertani-2023-75cl","title":"Soave Vintage, Bertani 2023 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003eBertani have been making wine in the Veneto since 1857, and their Soave Vintage is the quiet overachiever of the range — a single-vintage Garganega that costs less than a round of coffees yet drinks with real intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comes from the hills above Verona, where Garganega has grown for centuries and where Bertani built their reputation long before Amarone made them famous. It is 100% Garganega, that gently perfumed grape too often flattened into anonymous supermarket Soave. Bertani do the opposite: they let the fruit and the volcanic soils speak, keeping the wine fresh and honest rather than dressing it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect a pale, bright glass. The nose leans mineral, with white peach and a lift of acacia and wildflower. On the palate it is lively and clean — orchard fruit, a squeeze of lemon, that faint almond bitterness on the close that marks proper Garganega. Not a big wine, but a savoury, well-balanced one with genuine drive through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is your midweek white — the bottle to open without ceremony when supper is on and you want something that refreshes rather than dominates. At under £20 it comfortably outperforms its price, which is exactly what you want from an everyday Italian white made by people who know what they are doing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChill it well, 7–10°C, and pour into a standard white-wine glass. No decanting needed; drink it young, within a year or two of the vintage, while that freshness is at its peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibendum in South Kensington, where an Italian white slips easily alongside the shellfish. The River Cafe for a Verona wine among proper Italian cooking. The Wolseley for an unfussy glass before dinner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for lighter plates — grilled sardines, a plate of vitello tonnato, or a simple risotto primavera. The almond note and fresh acidity also do lovely things with a wedge of young pecorino.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925307896132,"sku":"HO32001B23","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/SoaveVintage_Bertani202375cl.png?v=1784197510","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/soave-vintage-bertani-2023-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
