Situated
on the eastern side of the Adige river valley in the little community
of Pressano in Lavis one finds the top-notch, if tiny, winery of Giuseppe
Fanti, now in the capable hands of Alessandro Fanti, son. From just over
fours hectares they produce 18,000 bottles. Four whites, the three listed
here, plus a delightful Chardonnay, and one red. The vineyards lie in
view of the stunning Dolomite Mountains and benefit from these mountains
in their climatic effects. Warm days and cool nights lend to long growing
seasons; the incredible mineral rich soil gives to the wines natural body
and intense complexity. The wines are made using a mix of modern techniques
coupled with tradition. Very delicious and worth a long thoughtful look!
