Inama - 2022 - I Palchi Foscarino Grande Cuvée Soave Classico DOC - 750 ml.

Inama I Palchi Foscarino Grande Cuvée Soave Classico DOC is a top-tier Soave crafted from old-vine Garganega parcels on the steep, mineral-rich slopes of Monte Foscarino. This bottling was first released from the 2019 selection and marries traditional Soave clarity with thoughtful use of oak: fermentation and élevage were split among large casks, barriques and stainless steel, then the components were blended and fined in bottle for balance and texture. On the nose expect lifted floral notes—white blossom and honeysuckle—interwoven with precise citrus and ripe stone fruit. The palate shows saline minerality and a chalky midpalate derived from both site and vine age, while subtle oak influence brings a fine, textural richness without overwhelming the grape’s citrus- and almond-tinged core. Food-friendly and elegant, this wine suits grilled fish, shellfish, roasted chicken, creamy pasta and mild cheeses, making it an excellent choice for dinners where refinement matters. With high scores from critics and a craft-focused production, the Foscarino Grande Cuvée is positioned as a collectible Soave that rewards both immediate drinking and careful short-term cellaring. For those who value terroir-expressive Italian whites, this Inama bottling stands out for its combination of minerality, aromatic precision and vinous structure.
