Tenuta Di Corte Giacobbe Soave
Please view wine facts for the current vintage below as the vintage on the image may vary.
Straw yellow with pale green highlights. On the nose, multi-faceted fragrances of ripe melon and yellow-orange, jasmine and camomile complement pungent rosemary and mountain-grown hay.
Appealing and well-balanced on the palate, with a lingering, aromatic melon and citrus that push through to a crisp finish hinting of dried almond. It displays a vibrant vein of minerality, gift of its valley terroir of origin. Ideally served by itself as an aperitif wine, and delicious partnered with first courses, lighter meats, fish, and vegetables.

Tenuta Di Corte Giacobbe
Soave is a viticultural denomination located east of Verona, and the tenuta, or wine estate of Corte Giacobbe lies just a few kilometres from the town of Soave, on the ridge of the Roncà valley.
The vineyards that surround the ancient Corte Giacobbe are planted on the slopes of two extinct volcanoes, Calvarina and Crocetta, in volcanically-derived, mineral-rich soils composed of lava and tuff. There, the Dal Cero family cultivates, with meticulous attention, Garganega, Pinot Grigio, Durella and Chardonnay grapes.
The area’s unique geologic history influences the mineral and organic composition of the grapes themselves, determining the berries’ characteristic aromatics and mineral components and giving a pronounced savouriness to the resultant wine. In particular, the cru wines of Corte Giacobbe are the distinctive fruit of the vineyards growing on the summits of the volcanoes, in soils marked by high mineral content.
