Inama Vigneti di Foscarino Soave Classico 2022

The now-third generation of winemakers continues to build on their family’s 50+ year incredible legacy. Recently, Antonio Galloni of Vinous referred to them as “one of Soave’s, actually Italy’s, most important producers” and talked about the “state of constant evolution and experimentation over the past few years” that has helped turn these gorgeous wines into perennial powerhouses.

Their method is simple but undeniable, and apparently hard enough to replicate that they continue to shine brighter than any of their neighbors. The white grapes are picked fully ripe, gently pressed and then left to settle before a temperature-controlled fermentation and spontaneous malolactic fermentation. This is why these wines are both beautifully balanced and aromatically expressive. Minimal filtering, minimal interference – pure expression.

When others’ follow this, they can make pretty wines. But at Inama – these white wines aren’t just pretty, they amount to some of the most highly-rated whites in the world. Their 2022 rendition is easily amongst Italy’s greatest white wines made at any price point. It’s simply magnificent.
