Recorbian is Franchetto's Soave Superiore - the name probably refers to a specific parcel or locality in the Soave DOC area - and brings all the character of a pure Garganega aged with patience and respect to the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Superiore designation for Soave implies grapes from delimited areas of greater suitability and a longer minimum aging period than basic Soave. Franchetto interprets these regulations with 12 months of aging in stainless steel - a choice that preserves all the aromatic freshness and minerality of the Garganega without interference from wood - followed by another 12 months of bottle aging before release. Two years in total from harvest to customer - a considerable amount of time for a €16 white wine that testifies to Franchetto's production standards. The 2022 vintage produced a Garganega of excellent ripeness with well-preserved natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e100% pure Garganega is the native grape variety of Soave - genetically identified as Trebbiano di Soave - and in the basaltic volcanic soils of the Soave DOC area it expresses a minerality and aromatic complexity unmatched among Veronese white wines. On the nose, Recorbian is delicate yet precise and layered: white field flowers, white peach and nectarine, fresh almond, citron, grapefruit, light aromatic herbs, and a distinctive chalky, basaltic mineral note that is the signature of quality Soave from volcanic soils. On the palate it is fresh, savory, and structured for its type - with a slightly creamy, enveloping texture, precise natural acidity, persistent mineral savoriness, and a clean, long finish with floral, bitter almond, and mineral notes. Serve at 11°C. A Soave Superiore that invites a second glass and surprises anyone who thought they already knew this wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt €16, a 100% Garganega aged for 2 years in total is one of the most interesting and competitive Veronese white wines in the entire Emporio Divino catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Emporio Divino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58300925510006,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/2717\/0166\/files\/Nuovoprogetto_79_1_58.jpg?v=1790075220","url":"https:\/\/emporiodivino.com\/en\/products\/soave-recorbian-franchetto","provider":"Emporio diVino","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
