In the glass it shines intensely yellow. Subtle spiciness, finesse, scent of tropical yellow fruits and delicate mineral nuances seduce the nose. Fruity in taste, this white wine from Veneto impresses with its full-bodied, soft, round body, perfect balance and fine, refreshing acidity. The finish is long, warm and flattering.\n \n Producer Information\n Cantine Anselmi is a wine producer of the Veneto region, in the northeast Italy. Although the estate is situated at Monteforte d'Alpone in the Soave Classico zone, and its wines are based largely on Garganega, Anselmi's wines are labeled as Veneto IGT, as proprietor Roberto Anselmi was dissatisfied with the bureaucracy and regulations in Soave that he felt focused more on quantity than quality. Roberto Anselmi took over his family estate in the late 1970s. The business began to acquire hillside vineyards that are more densely planted than the traditional pergola systems. Today, there are more than 70 hectares (173 acres) of estate vineyards. The modern winery uses cold macerations for extra body and low temperature fermentations, then extended ageing before release. Since 2000, all of Anselmi's wines have been labeled as Veneto IGT. Instead of using the DOC, Anselmi pioneered single-vineyard wines in the area led by the barrique-fermented Capitel Croce, made from a 5 hectare (12 acre) plot of Garganega, and the Capitel Foscarino, a blend of Garganega with a small amount of Chardonnay. The portfolio also includes San Vicenzo, a well-priced blend of Garganega with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc; I Capitelli, a sweet wine made from partly botrytized air-dried grapes; and Realda, a red wine made from Cabernet Sauvignon.
