Inama is one of a bunch of quality-conscious producers who have together raised the reputation of Soave in recent years, proving that the volcanic soils in the terraced hillside vineyards around Verona are capable of producing world-beating fine wines when the temptation to push yields in the vineyard to the limit is resisted, and when sensitive winemaking is employed in the cellar.
The Veneto, that part of northeastern Italy, is a real powerhouse of Italian wine, churning out around 11.9m hectolitres of famous wines such as prosecco and pinot grigio.
There is a fair degree of snobbery among wine-lovers about much of this output, not least the Venetian lagoonfuls of very ordinary, bland white wine made from over-cropped vines on the region's flatlands.
But there is so much, soft, easy charm in the good Veneto stuff, such as Inama's top-notch Soave, with its gorgeously mouthfilling mix of peaches, pears, white flowers and almonds.
