The Borgo San Lorenzo Vecchia Vigna (=old vines) is a very special Soave Classico from Biscardo / Mabis. The old Garganega vines for this lively white wine thrive on just 12 hectares of rare tufa soil. The vines are on a hill between the medieval castles of Monteforte and Soave. This terroir is considered the best in the area, historical documents from the year 1029 already testify to viticulture here.

The Borgo San Lorenzo is a Soave with crystal clear fruit and nice depth with medium weight, dry but soft, the finish is long-lasting. Aromatically it is reminiscent of citrus fruits, peaches and apricots, with hints of almonds. A beautiful white wine for many occasions. Serve it with pasta, white meat, fish, vegetables, fresh cheeses or egg dishes. It also cuts a fine figure as a fresh terrace wine.

The Soave San Lorenzo may sound high priced for a Soave when compared to wines with that name from the lower supermarket shelves. However, the exact opposite is the case. The depth and substance in this wine makes it a price-enjoyment bargain. In 2019 and 2020 it was recognized at the World Wine Awards by Decanter magazine.
