Program :

Taste the mineral wines of this famed hill region

3-days sample tour

Soave wines taste like they sound: suave, smooth, and elegant.

Soave territory

The territory of Soave extends over the rolling hills east of Verona and is known for producing one of the best known white wines in the world.

The hills are mainly made up of volcanic soils that give the wine an unmistakable mineral note,which completes the characteristic fruity and floral scents.

Soave, which is both the name of the wine and the castle-topped village that is the beating heart of this wine area, was already a known wine growing area in the time of the Romans. An ancient variety, Grecanicum, was probably widely planted and has evolved into the local grape, Garganega.

Inama is a family-owned winery that has been making wine for more than fifty years. Now being led by third-generation family members, the winery has a single vision: to make wines that are true reflections of the territory and not dictated by style or trend.

They prioritize terroir over style, which results in wine with extraordinary character and unique profiles. This is in full proof in their Vulcaia Fumè label; a “volcanic” sauvignon that is transformed by the mineral terroir.

Inama also began making wine in the nearby Colli Berici region, producing deep, rich reds from the native Carmenere grape.

Conegliano-Valdobbiadene territory

The area extends through the hills of the Province of Treviso between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, with the Dolomites to the north and the Adriatic Sea to the east, creating excellent microclimates for vine cultivation.

Wines have been produced here for hundreds of years and Prosecco was first mentioned in documents that date back to 1772. In fact, Conegliano-Valdobbiadene was submitted as a UNESCO World Heritage candidate because of the strong bond between its ancient vine-growing culture and the land, as well as for its beauty: its terraced vineyards against an Alpine backdrop form one of Italy’s most stunning territories.
