APPELLATION<br />
with the brothers Luca and Massimo (4th generation) and their father Silvio all playing<br />
a leading role. Each has their own area of responsibility: care of the vineyard, cellar,<br />
marketing and public relations, but they all work closely together to oversee the winery<br />
as a whole. The company produces wine entirely from its own 8 hectares of land in the<br />
Val di Mezzane, about 20 km east of Verona.<br />
Procedures in the vineyards are kept to a minimum in a bid to achieve an ideal and<br />
sustainable balance. Silvio, Luca and Massimo’s daily work is defined by dedication,<br />
constant research and experimentation both in the field and in the cellar, rediscovering<br />
and adapting long abandoned practices and techniques that fell into disuse in favour<br />
of modernity and innovation.<br />
The vineyards, flanked by a stream, boast mainly soils of alluvial origin which is<br />
strongly calcareous and very rich in organic substance (60% silt, 25% clay, 15% sand).<br />
Villa Erbice produces two types of Soave Superiore DOCG:<br />
Soave Superiore Docg (100% Garganega) is aged in stainless steel on fine lees for 10<br />
months before bottling.<br />
