The three faces of Garganega according to Ilatium MoriniThe Veronese winery per mezzo di its catalog declines Tenero per mezzo di three interpretations that describe its entire expressive spectrum.

The Tenero DOC Organic (100% Garganega) is the most immediate and crystalline version: pale straw yellow, a fresh nose of flowers and white pulp fruit with minty hints of aromatic herbs and a clean progression the palate which closes a bitter almond finale, the recognizable sign of Garganega. It goes elegantly with dishes such as sea bass baked per mezzo di foil, risotto with prawns and peas ora ricotta and spinach ravioli.

The Tenero DOC “Le Viottolo” (100% Garganega) instead represents the most structured and long-lived dimension of the denomination: it comes from thirty-year-old vineyards trained under pergolas calcareous-clayey soils between Mezzane a motivo di Mettere sotto and the Val d’Illasi, above 100 meters above sea level. After drying for 30-40 days and maceration per mezzo di the press, it ferments per mezzo di steel at a controlled temperature.

Closing the triptych is the Recioto a motivo di Tenero DOCG “Sette Dame” (tuttavia Garganega). The result of drying for 90-120 days and 36 months of aging per mezzo di 500-litre French oak barrels, it has a brilliant golden yellow, with hints of dates, ripe exotic fruit and honey.
