This wine is golden in colour, with a fresh perfume of acacia flowers and citrus fruit. The palate has rich mineral notes with lifted lemon zest on the finish. This wine has enough body to stand up to food while retaining a crisp, fresh quality that ensures it is also great on its own.

Grapes for the Garganega come from the vineyards surrounding the Verona hills, grown at 100-300 metres above sea level. These vines are Guyot and pergola trained and the soils are mainly marl and limestone.

This wine is made from fully ripe Garganega grapes, harvested slightly later than usual. At the winery, the grapes were crushed and underwent a brief cold soak before pressing and fermentation in temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks. The wine was then filtered prior to blending and bottling.

Run by Luca Degani since 1995, the Cantina Valpantena is now one of Italy’s best co-operatives, with 650 hectares of vineyards that produce excellent quality fruit. Matt Thomson (of Blank Canvas in New Zealand) makes some of the Alpha Zeta wines here and has worked closely with the Cantina since 1999, and with head winemaker Michele Peroni since 2013
