The Umberto Portinari estate is the smallest in the ABFW portfolio, with just 4 hectares of vineyards. Umberto has vineyards called Ronchetto and Albare, where he grows very different styles of Soave. The Albare vineyard is where Umberto produces his famous 'double ripened' Soave known as 'Albare'. He was the first grower to use this double ripening technique in Soave and the wine has a wonderful full flavoured and aromatic style as a result of the double ripening method. Umberto's more traditional styled Soave Classico is his 'Ronchetto'.

Winemaker's Notes
A classic Soave with mature aromas. Refined with an excellent intensity. There is a slight touch of dried fruit, almonds, white flowers, straw yellow fruit, pear and golden apples. When in the mouth the texture is fresh and soft. It has a persistent finish and an excellent taste-scent quality to it.
