The 20-year-old vines are rooted in clay-rich volcanic soils and the grapes are harvested by hand in small six-kilogram crates during the second week of October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter harvest, the grapes are dried for four to five weeks to concentrate flavour and texture. Fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel and 30-hectolitre oak casks, with 12 months in the cellar followed by a further year in bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntense straw yellow with a deep golden sheen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden apple, ripe apricot and yellow plum are joined by raisin, candied citrus peel and a distinctive thread of ginger and turmeric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDry, broad and enveloping, with concentrated stone fruit balanced by savoury freshness. Sweet spice, dried herbs and citrus peel add complexity, while a gentle oak-derived roundness carries the wine towards a long finish of dried fruit and warming spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with chicken livers on toast, roast cod with caper butter, chargrilled langoustines, or a well-aged Comté or mature Cheddar. Its breadth also suits creamy polenta with wild mushrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBackground story\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMotto Piane takes its name from its high vineyard site on Monte Calvarina. Although it belongs to the Soave tradition, it is deliberately more concentrated and contemplative than a youthful, steel-aged expression of Garganega.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe brief appassimento period, large-format oak and extended bottle ageing are used to build depth rather than sweetness. The 2019 vintage combines the variety’s natural savoury character with the richness of dried fruit, offering a distinctive view of Fattori’s volcanic landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fattori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7848981069884,"sku":"FATPIANE19","price":25.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/antonio-fattori-soave-motto-piane-2019-0-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791377064","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/soave-doc-motto-piane-2019","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
