HEY FRENCH  You Could Have Made This But You Didn’t  BIANCO VENETO IGT  EDIZIONE IV    WINEMAKING  This wine is the most powerful expression of the characteristics of the vineyards of origin,  located in different areas on the Veronese side of Monte Calvarina, in the easternmost part  of the Soave appellation. A blend of vintages (2019 -2016-2021-2020-2018-2017-2013)  that are selected for their expressiveness and elegance. Each vintage was originally vinified  separately. Following alcoholic fermentation, the different vintages remain 3-4 months on  the lees. The process continues with maturation in wood, in barriques and tonneaux of first  passage with medium or light toasting for about 8 months. Following this, the wine is placed  in steel tanks for further maturation. Finally, the vintages are combined in the final blend  and the wine is bottled. Thanks to the blend of different vintages and a soil rich in nutrients,  the ageing potential of this white wine is remarkable.  TASTING NOTES  As in previous editions, the blend of different vintages gives the product great complexity.  On the nose, distinct notes of chamomile, tropical fruits, white flowers and lavender.  Gradually roasted notes reminiscent of dried fruit and white pepper make their way in  balance with the aromas of tropical fruit and white flowers. The palate reveals great body  and structure, with a mineral structure that invites a second sip.     MULTIVINTAGE NOTES  HARVEST 2019  2019 was a fairly rainy year. The spring was very different with a hot dry March and a cold  and rainy two months of April and May. The very hot summer also had two significant heat  waves in late June and late July. During the heat wave at the end of June, numerous heat  records were recorded, with peaks of 38°C. Nevertheless, the abundant spring rains  provided the soils with a good supply of water to withstand a hot June with no precipitation.  HARVEST 2016  A vintage characterised by heavy rainfall and a non-exuberant production, with grapes  reaching the average of recent years in terms of sugar and acidity, but with excellent  qualitative characteristics.  HARVEST 2021  Spring was very cool and rainy: this slowed down the first phenological phases of the vine  and provided an important water supply. The drought that affected much of Italy did not  create problems in the Soave area. The summer period saw non-torrential rains alternating  with hot periods, which favoured full ripening of the grapes, which never suffered from the  lack of water. The vintage was therefore of excellent quality, albeit slightly inferior in  quantity.  HARVEST 2020  The year 2020 began with a mild winter with little rainfall and then changed in the spring, especially in April and May. The  summer months were optimal with no extreme temperatures and a perfect water supply
