Lightly scented, this offers subtle aromas recalling toasted oak, white stone fruit and a whiff of hazelnut. The rounded, structured palate shows vanilla, oak, butterscotch and ripe yellow apple alongside hints of coffee bean and bitter almond.\n \n Producer Information\n Azienda Agricola Inama is a wine producer situated in the Veneto region of northeast Italy. It produces a collection of Soave Classico DOC wines from Garganega, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc as well as Merlot and Carmenere. The estate was founded in the 1950s by Giuseppe Inama with a view to collecting together some of Soave Classico's eldest and most notable Garganega vineyards. Inama has since grown to encompass 30 hectares (74 acres) of cultivated vineyards planted to a combination of both red and white grape varieties. The estate released its first wine in the 1990s. Unusually this was not a Soave Classico, but a Sauvignon Blanc, as Inama had decided to promote the Soave region by producing wines made from this internationally recognized variety. At the time, traditional Soave had fallen out of favor as producers had tried to push quantity, rather than quality. Today, Inama produces two Sauvignon Blanc wines – Vulcaia, fermented and aged in stainless steel, and Vulcaia Fumé, which is fermented in barrel. This white wine portfolio has been added to with a range of Soave Classico wines as well as a varietal offering of Chardonnay. In 1997, Inama began experimenting with the Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot grape varieties cultivated in the region of Colli Berici. These varieties formed the basis of the estate's inaugural vintage of Bradisismo. This wine has since been joined by several other Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenère-based wines, the most notable of which being the estate's "Oratorio di San Lorenzo" Carmenère riserva.
