Pra Soave Classico Colle Sant'Antonio 2015

• Historic, benchmark producer of Soave and an under-the-radar, great producer of Valpolicella and Amarone
• Valpolicella vineyards are certified organic, the Soave vineyards are in conversion to be certified
• All of their Soave are ageworthy but especially their top cuvees of Monte Grande and Colle Sant'Antonio
• Their reds are from high elevation vineyards rich in limestone - producing reds that are much more focused and mineral-driven than much of their counterparts in the appellation
