After stainless steel fermentation, aged in large barrels for 10 months. Bottle aging for 2 months. MLF available. Organic certification. Cofere started in a vineyard that has been in existence since the 19th century in Castel Cellino, in the center of Soave Classico. Azienda Agricola was founded in the 1960s when Giuseppe Cofere, a professor at the agricultural school, met Giovanna Visco, the daughter of a wine grower. Although Giuseppe was a professor at the agricultural school, he was very passionate about winemaking. His passion led him to learn a lot from renowned agricultural consultants in Verona, such as Attilio Scienza, Mario Fregoni, Antonio Calò, and Giovanni Cargnello, and he built the foundation of his own winemaking. In 1971, he took over the Castel Cellino vineyards from his wife Giovanna's family and started making wine there. In 1994, his son Alberto Cofere took over the cantina. Alberto follows the teachings of his father Giuseppe while also working on new innovations. He has been highly praised as a winemaker since early on, winning Tre Viecchieri in the 2003 vintage, and has been attracting attention. The vineyards are located in the central north of Soave Classico, around Castel Cellino, and cover an area of about 25 hectares. While Castel Cellino is the heart of Soave Classico, it is also Cofere's pride and joy, as he has been working with the vineyards for many years and has been passionate about maximizing the potential of the grapes. When plowing the fields, they use horses and take great care not to overcompact the soil. They cultivate the vineyards carefully and obtained organic certification in 2014. Natural = nature - that is the essence of Cofere wine.
