Crafted by Cantina di Soave, it offers a polished, modern interpretation of classic Veronese red wine, with ripe fruit, subtle spice and a graceful structure. The Nottefonda label reflects the historic cellars beneath the medieval Rocca Sveva, where tradition and contemporary winemaking meet beneath the ancient fortress of Soave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, Rocca Sveva Nottefonda 2020 shows a deep ruby hue with violet reflections, suggesting both freshness and concentration. The nose opens with dark cherry and ripe plum, followed by notes of blackberry, sweet spices and a touch of dried herbs, framed by hints of cocoa and a gentle vanilla nuance from time in wood.\n\nOn the palate, this wine is medium to full-bodied, with smooth, well-integrated tannins and a rounded, velvety texture. Juicy red and black fruits are lifted by a lively, food-friendly acidity, while subtle notes of spice and toasted oak linger on the finish. Enjoyable now for its vibrant fruit and balance, it will continue to develop greater harmony and softness over the next 3–5 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRocca Sveva Nottefonda 2020 is sourced from hillside vineyards in Veneto, where well-drained, mixed soils and significant diurnal temperature shifts help preserve aromatics and freshness in the grapes. The fruit is typically harvested at optimal ripeness to balance richness and acidity, with careful selection to ensure only healthy, concentrated bunches are used. In the cellar, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks to capture pure fruit expression, followed by maturation in a combination of stainless steel and oak, allowing the wine to gain complexity, structure and gentle spice without overshadowing its regional character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Veneto red pairs beautifully with classic Italian dishes such as tomato-based pastas, lasagna, pizza with cured meats, and slow-braised ragù. It also complements roasted poultry, grilled pork, medium-aged cheeses and earthy vegetable dishes like mushroom risotto. Serve at 16–18°C (61–64°F) to show its full aromatic spectrum; a brief 30-minute decant can help the wine open up its fruit and spice notes, especially in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCantina di Soave, founded in 1898, is one of Veneto’s most important and respected cooperatives, uniting hundreds of growers under a shared commitment to quality.
