Corte Giacobbe

Runcata

Denomination

Soave Superiore DOCG Roncà-Monte Calvarina
Description

The first wine of Tenuta Corte Giacobbe, the most important, the most complex and structured expression. The name Runcata is derived from ‘roncola’, billhook. Legend has it that our ancestors had to till the lands of Roncà to cultivate them, and they did so with the billhook, a scythe-shaped tool with a short handle. Hence the names Roncà and Runcata.
Vinification

The clusters are gently pressed, blanketed by inert gas, which protects the delicate aromas from oxidation. The free-run must then ferments at a controlled temperature (11-15°C) in large oak ovals.
Maturation

Maturation, which lasts 12 months, takes place in large oak casks and in 20hl oak ovals at controlled temperatures, with the wine in contact with the fine lees, in order to enhance both structure and complexity. Following bottling, the wine rests in the bottle a minimum of 8 months before release.
Sensory profile

Gold-yellow in appearance. Generous, stylish bouquet of acacia and almond blossoms, flanked by peach, apricot, camomile, vanilla, and with an intriguing hint of sulphur, lifted by a clean vein of minerality and concluding with pungent sage and rosemary. The quintessence of its character is immediately clear upon entrance: dry and quite smooth, with a fine supportive structure, while judiciously crisp fruit provides both vibrancy and length. This is a superbly-structured wine that reaches its best only after a few years.
Serving suggestions

Pairs beautifully with elaborate dishes, even those with rich sauces; with risotto and porcinis; with white celery, squash, and almonds; cod alla vicentina; and with fish, salmon, scallops, and crab.
