VULCANIA SOAVE 2012 and more (12)
* Please read all the previous and next articles about VULCANIA SOAVE 2012, about the SOAVE and the COLLI EUGANEI regions *
A selection of pictures I took during this fantastic press-trip, but couldn’t place in my articles because of a severe software + hardware PC crash. Just to give you a ‘personal’ impression:
Who doesn’t believe in ‘terroir’ influence should follow the conferences of Attilio Scienza (professor of Viticulture at the University of Milan). Each type of soil in the Colli Euganei (marine sediments, volcanic soils, alluvial sediments) gives a very specific taste profile with the same grape variety!
Different terroir, same grape variety, different taste characteristics
A nice surprise for me, the very nice whites like this Serprino
Another big surprise… Fior d’Arancio secco from yellow muscat
Lovely gastronomic red Colli Euganei
Eugean hills, fantastic range of colourful grasshoppers
A great example of controlled biodiversity
A highly recommended restaurant in Colli Euganei, VAL POMARO
