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.

Production method
The grapes come from the company’s vineyards within the Soave DOC denomination. The Sauvignon grapes are harvested by hand when they reach optimal ripeness. After crushing and soft pressing of the grapes, they are fermented in new barriques, 30% heavily toasted and 70% in used barriques. Followed by refinement for a few months in the bottle before actually being released onto the market.
Alcohol content

Tasting notes
Intense straw yellow color with golden reflections and nuances. On the nose notes of tropical fruit, citrus fruits and aromatic herbs, minerality, notes of vanilla spices, toasting and coffee. On the palate the wine is extremely soft, fat, with good structure and intensity, with a fresh final acidity.
Possible combinations
Vulcaia Fumé immediately attracted the attention of trade fairs for the exclusivity of the product, capable of representing the region’s great vocation for the production of aromatic white wines capable of expressing complexity. Given the latter, in fact, the wine is perfect as a meditation wine, even if left to rest for a few years in the bottle. In combination it is suitable with white meats, even tasty shellfish, land first courses with truffles or seafood first courses.
