Description

The members of the Tamellini family have been vignerons for three generations. The estate is managed by the two brothers Gaetano and Pio who make wonderful Soave DOC and Soave Classico DOC from 26 hectares of Garganega. This grape variety finds its natural habitat on these hills due to the composition of the soil, the excellent exposure, and the mild climate. The practices in the vineyards are strictly environment friendly: integrated insect and disease control is followed and they are now certified organic. No fertilizers are used. Natural cover crops (grass cover) are left on the aisles between the rows of vines. The soil is not tilled and the turf is left in place. The cellar was built in 1998 and all the wines are vinified and matured in steel. These are beautiful Soave showing fine acidity and bright aromatics.

Review

The 2011 Extra Brut Millesimato is bright and perfumed, with dusty florals and curry leaf giving way to hints of pear and crushed Granny Smith apples. It’s a sharply focused and vibrant effort, almost salty in character, displaying tart orchard fruits with tactile minerality. This tapers off clean with a sizzle of residual acids and spice. The 2011 is a 100% varietal Garganega, produced using metodo classico.
