Casa Vinicola Bennati is an old established house, founded in 1920 by Annibale Bennati, in the area of Cazzano di Tramigna. The wine making direction is that of a younger generation of the family, Bennati has extended its interest to international grapes and wines from surrounding areas, concentrating on regional character and the quality of varietals.
“Soave is the most important wine here, with such strong ties to our history that we decided to call it by its Latin name, that is, “Libet”. What I like the most about its bouquet is its mineral and flowery scents, the very same perfumes of the ground and of the wild flowers from our hills. But there’s something more: sweeter notes of tropical fruit, and an almond finish.” Giorgio Bennati
Hand harvested, the grapes are pressed through pneumatic pressing machines to guarantee the delicacy of the operation. Then, the must is cooled down at 8°C, and it settles. The alcoholic fermentation takes place at controlled temperature (14-15°C) after addition of selected yeasts in order to preserve and bring out all distinctive aromatic features.
Tasting notes: straw yellow colour with golden nuances; wine with well-balanced acidity and good structure. Intense note of almond and tropical fruit; excellent persistence on the palate
Food pairing suggestions: Perfect with pasta, fish and eggs
