Le Rive is a wine that should be accompanied by faint candlelight on a laid table, or with a crackling open fire as a companion for reading. The overripe Garganega and the long ageing period give it a full body that seduces the senses and a warm colour that lightly brushes your thoughts. The grapes are harvested in a small plot of about one hectare facing south and belonging to the u.g.a. Fittà: located at an altitude of about 260 metres and composed of a soil of clear volcanic origin with a clayey-silty texture. The vineyard is characterized by a steep slope (45%), the dialectal term “rive” in fact indicates a particularly steep terrain. Intense yellow with golden reflections and a bouquet of ripe yellow fruits, candied citrus fruits and sweet spices, combined with marine puffs and smoky notes. On the palate it's ample and elegant, with a very long, savoury finish and mineral persistence.
