Roberto Anselmi and red wine? That doesn't really go together. While his colleagues in the Soave region have long since jumped on the lucrative Amarone bandwagon or, like Inama in the Colli Berici, produce exceptional red wines, the white wine purist has basically remained true to his line for decades. With one exception: at the foot of Monte Zoppega, hidden among his beloved Garganega vines, a little secret has been thriving for years: Realda, named after a historic church estate. Only 7,000 bottles of this single red wine in the Anselmi portfolio are produced each year – a little gimmick, as Roberto himself says, but a damn good one, in our opinion. 100 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 18 months in French Troncais barriques, with a further six months of bottle ageing.

The result: Dark ruby red with an intense bouquet; blackcurrant and nutty notes mingle with varietal vegetal notes of mown grass and green pepper, pipe tobacco and black pepper. Smooth and elegant on the palate, with velvety tannins and surprising harmony. A little gem among the white wine icons – proof that a rebel is always good for surprises. SUPERIORE.DE
