About Wine of the Sea 2017 Soave Superiore
Wines selected for submersion are among the world’s finest even before entering the Adriatic, but not every fine wine is made to be submerged. Each wine selected fits a specific set of characteristics that make it a qualified candidate for this aging process.
Each bottle is equipped with a special composite cork and sealed with two layers of wax ensuring that the bottles allow nothing to enter them while submerged.
The bottles are placed 100-feet below the water’s surface. The conditions at these depths make nature’s greatest wine cellar.
Temperatures are consistently cool
Zero light from the sun is able to reach the bottles
Aging is intensified and accelerated under tremendous pressure
Waves keep the bottles in motion, forcing molecular breakdown for a constant smoothing of the wine
Each bottle spends a minimum of one year under water, depending on what variety of wine is submerged. Some bottles are left to age for as many as two years.
The harvest of the Garganega grape used to produce Soave begins around mid-September and lasts until the end of October. Two passes through the vineyards along with careful grape selection ensure perfect ripening. The grapes are then left to dry for two months to intensify the flavor. The wine matures for one year in lightly toasted barrels. The oak is perfectly balanced – not overwhelming the wine, simply adding texture and complexity. Its aroma abounds with exotic fruit and gorgeous spicy, nutty notes. The palate has just a hint of vanilla with quite intense stone fruit, and traces of banana and pineapple. This Soave is superbly balanced, a demonstration of masterful vinification.
