Fasoli Gino Pieve Vecchia

The Fasoli Gino Pieve Vecchia is a true testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the Venetian winery Fasoli Gino. This exceptional wine, made from the Garganega grape, has garnered international acclaim for its distinctive character and complexity. The Pieve Vecchia is not only one of the most important wines in the Fasoli Gino range but also one of the most intriguing expressions of this quintessential Italian grape. The unique approach of harvesting in three phases—just ripe, fully ripe, and overripe—ensures that every aspect of the grape is optimally developed, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth and complexity.

Maturation Process and Aromatic Complexity

The Pieve Vecchia undergoes a carefully controlled fermentation process in stainless steel tanks, followed by 12 to 15 months of aging in barrels where the wine rests on its own yeast cells. This method enriches the wine with subtle yeast notes that blend beautifully with the natural aromas of the grape. After this period, the wine is bottled and allowed to mature for another six months, contributing to its exceptional smoothness and balance. The end result is a wine with a vibrant golden color and a full-bodied palate, where the explosion of fruity flavors beautifully combines with excellent acidity, almond notes, and a pastry finish.

Culinary Recommendations and Serving Suggestions

Fasoli Gino Pieve Vecchia is an excellent accompaniment to refined dishes like asparagus risotto, where a crisp slice of prosciutto bridges the gap between the food and the wine. The complex aromas of sweet oriental herbs, roasted barley, ripe white fruit, and the fragrant notes of lime and honeysuckle enhance any dish. This wine is ideal for occasions when a special wine is desired to complement a meal, whether for special occasions or a luxurious dinner at home. Serve this exquisite wine chilled to unlock its full potential, and let your guests enjoy an experience that reflects both the rich history and innovative spirit of Fasoli Gino.
