Description

History

The history of Inama begins in 1948 when Giuseppe Inama began working as a winemaker; subsequently, in 1965, he purchased the first vineyard within the Soave Classico denomination, the Vigneto Foscarino. The commercial and production turning point occurred around the beginning of 1990 when his son Stefano joined the company and began producing and marketing the first bottles of “Sauvignon Fumè”, subsequently also introducing Soave. A few years later the company also began to focus on the production of Carmenere for the production of quality red wine in the DOC Colli Berici. Today the Inama company is one of the most dynamic and growing companies in the area, it can count on historic vineyards both in the Soave DOC and in the Berici Hills; From 2010 to 2017 Stefano’s children also joined the company, bringing new knowledge and enthusiasm.

Tasting note

Garnet red color with a dark and deep appearance, with sometimes purple and blue nuances. Its olfactory bouquet is intense, rich and concentrated, with notes of small dark fruits, followed by hints of bitter cocoa, black pepper and cardamom. On the palate, it presents itself as a wine of great completeness, with an enveloping roundness and a pleasant softness, but at the same time it maintains a lively freshness, with clear references to sour cherries and spices.

Possible combinations

As regards the possible gastronomic combinations, we recommend serving this wine with dishes such as grilled or smoked pork, zampone and cotechino, as well as pork cheek. For traditional dishes, it is an excellent combination with boiled meat and pepperà sauce, ossobuco with peas, polenta and soppressa vicentina D.O.P. Among the vegetables, it can be enjoyed with a dish of pasta and beans.
