“Vin Soave” Soave Classico DOC 2023
Bright straw yellow with greenish reflections. Lively bouquet of crisp pineapple and white peach, with components of camomile, elderberry and a fine spiciness. Crisp on the palate with cool, present fruit, light-footed and straightforward with an interesting arc, very full-bodied and multi-layered, ending with a juicy, mineral finish and a subtle almond note. SUPERIORE.DE
"A fine opening act, boasting hints of baking spices, golden apples and alpine herbs. The palate is light-weighted with a pungent mineral infusion. A little green and phenolic at the finish. It has poise, drinkability and impressive length. Very good." James Suckling

“Vulcaia” Sauvignon del Veneto IGT 2023
Vulcaia is a soft, full Sauvignon Blanc with tropical fruits and rich toasty aromas. On the nose, citrus and sweet floral scents. On the palate mineral with exotic fruit and citrus, behind a layer of gooseberries and herbs that give the wine freshness and structure. Long and persistent final. It gets additional tension and a lot of personality from the volcanic soils of Monte Foscarino. SUPERIORE.DE

“Carménère Più" Rosso Veneto IGT 2022
This is the epitome of a trattoria or bistro wine with an unmistakable Alpine flavour. The Carménère and Merlot grapes are matured separately for 12 months, 80% in third and fourth passage barriques and 20% in stainless steel. This is followed by the blending of the "Carménère Più", which then matures for four months in stainless steel before being bottled. Before being released for sale, it is left to refine in the bottle for at least six months. Deep red colour with blue-violet reflections. Elegant aroma of small dark berries, cocoa and black pepper. Balanced on the palate with optimum freshness, fruity with well-integrated tannins. SUPERIORE.DE

“Carbonare” Soave Classico DOC 2022
Strong, bright straw yellow colour. Characterful, youthful and rich bouquet of dried nectarines, peach, yellow apple, mint and a fresh hint of almonds. The depth of its texture is in perfect contrast to the savoury acids, minerals and notes of sour apples, but a feeling of balanced ripeness always remains. The finish is long and structured and seems to melt slowly on the palate, leaving savoury spices and a fine tannin behind. It already has a lot to offer today, but should mature a little more in the bottle for more structure and elegance. A wonderfully exciting interpretation of Garganega from a small single vineyard in the Carbonare region. SUPERIORE.DE
"Notes of spiced quince, lemon peel, camphor and salted almonds. Salty wines are all the rage, and this wine has plenty of phenolic saltiness and a distinct acidity. The long and persuasive finish is carried by a hint of energy. A brilliant Soave. A true mountain wine." James Suckling

“Campo del Lago” Merlot Colli Berici DOC 2020
Already the famous Italian wine critic Veronelli rated the Colli Berici together with Bolgheri as one of the best growing areas for the Bordelais grape varieties. This rare Merlot is dedicated to its creator Alfredo Lazzarini, whose vineyards Inama recently acquired, and it represents the history of the Colli Berici. Dark ruby garnet, violet reflections, delicate watery rim. Spicy nuances of black cherries, ripe plums, forest floor, some jasmine and a pleasant touch of precious wood. Juicy on the palate, with good complexity and a chocolaty texture, round tannins and a discreet extract sweetness on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE

“Foscarino 30 anni” Soave Classico DOC 2022
Foscarino from vines over 40 years old is matured for 12 months on the fine lees in used barrique barrels and stainless steel and is probably one of the most complex Soave Classico wines we have ever tasted. Bright straw yellow in colour with golden reflections. Elegant, inviting bouquet of light honey, dried citrus fruit, exotic flowers and a hint of ginger. Juicy and straightforward on the palate of layered stone fruit, precise and with piquant acidity, all proportions are impressively right here. Complex and multi-layered, it reveals new impressions with every glass and increasing aeration and ends in a salty finish, very exciting! SUPERIORE.DE
"This is very intense with electric acidity. Dried apples, lemons and minerals with a salty undertone. Full-bodied with phenolic tension and an extremely long finish. Hints of oyster. Needs two or three years to show its greatness, but fantastic already." James Suckling

“Carminium” Carménère Colli Berici DOC 2019
The clay content in the forest soils of this incredible, almost untouched area around Oratorio di San Lorenzo gives the wine a unique note. Rich red with blue-violet reflections. Intense on the nose with notes of medicinal herbs, ripe red berries, blood orange, pepper and spices. On the palate then very precise and clear with dark fruits, a delicious spiciness and tannins that are still firm when young. Already seductive today and then elegant and silky with increasing bottle maturity. SUPERIORE.DE
pepnose. Juicy fruit channeled through a dense network of dry, firm, super-spicy tannins. A beautiful lift of dried herbs (sage, rosemary, lavender and oregano) and, a bit like their Cabernet, this lovely savoury-sweet element that is like oven-roasted cherry tomatoes with roasted vine and white pepper. Very gouleyant." Jancis Robinson
"Dark ruby red with a violet core. Scents of thyme and tarragon, black pepper on the nose, paired with blackcurrant and orange zest. On the palate juicy, dense and compact, well-integrated tannins, goes with vigour into the long finish." Falstaff
"The 2019 Carménère Carminium is remarkably floral and fresh, exuding notes of redcurrant, rosemary and ground ginger reminiscent of pepper. It is a model of purity with bright acidity lifting the mineral red fruits while savoury spices swirl through the nose. The 2019 finishes classically dry and lightly textured, leaving tart raspberry notes on the finish. This is an incredibly beautiful vintage for Carminium." Vinous
"It has a complex nose of dried thyme, tobacco, sage, tar and blackberries. Also peppercorns and cloves. It is medium-bodied, with firm tannins. Finely integrated and concentrated, with a firm finish. Better after 2024." James Suckling

“Bradisismo” Cabernet-Carménère Colli Berici DOC 2019
1997 saw the birth of Bradisismo, named after the geological event that led to the formation of the Colli Berici. It is a successful symbiosis of the intense, concentrated flavour of ripe Cabernet Sauvignon cherries and the lively, spicy notes of Carmenere. With its bouquet of small dark berries, spices, pepper and chocolate, it is a wonderfully inexpensive alternative to the great Bordeaux blends or Supertuscans. On the palate, it has a velvety texture, with a mix of dark fruits, cherries, floral notes and fine tannins that glide seamlessly over the palate. Deep, long finish and very good ageing potential. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark ruby red colour with a violet core. On the nose, aromas of cassis, pickled forest fruits and green pepper, plus dark chocolate and black pepper. Fruity on the palate, present tannins, animating drinking flow, persistent and with a fine salinity in the finish." Falstaff
"The 2019 Cabernet Bradisismo opens slowly in the glass with exotic spices and crushed stones fading into blackcurrant, and is savoury and darkly floral. It's cool and racy in style, holding its power in reserve as a wave of ripe red and black fruit floods the palate with youthful concentration. Salty minerals mingle with rugged tannins on the long and structured final." Vinous
"This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Carmenere opens with deep aromas of blackberry jam, spiced plum compote and star anise. As the wine develops in the glass, notes of violet, tobacco and graphite rise. Stupendously well balanced, with integrated tannins and mouth-watering acidity that frames the generous dark-hued fruits on the palate, as sweet oak spices linger on the finish." Wine Enthusiast
"A balanced and lively blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere. Plums, blueberries, dark cherries, undergrowth, leaves, sweet tobacco and a hint of black olives. Medium to full body with fine, firm tannins. Structured and textured with dark berries and some chocolate character on the palate. Earthy with a hint of spice on the long finish. Best from 2025."

SUPERIORE.DE
"Cassis and framboise through a matrix of dried oregano, tarragon and dried mushrooms. The fruit is perfectly moulded and cut by the acidity of the ripe tomato with a hint of cool, sharp spice from the tomato vine. Powerful but very refined tannins. Long and secure." Jancis Robinson
"Shows pure, juicy aromas of ripe blackcurrant, layered with pretty accents of violets, tar, ground coffee, wild sage and fine-grained tannins. Concentrated and creamy on the palate, with notes of fresh earth and forest floor that lend the fruit a savoury note on the finish." Wine Spectator
"The Inama 2020 Colli Berici Cabernet Bradisismo is something special, and not just because of its unusual grape blend. It is a full-bodied and particularly accessible red wine that offers great versatility and plenty of potential for pairing with other dishes. This vintage shows a soft ripeness of both grape varieties with a rich, full-bodied texture. The finish is savoury with a hint of pepper." Wine Advocate
"The 2020 Cabernet Bradisismo is dusty and floral in the glass with vibrant wild berries complemented by nuances of rose, sage and graphite. It has a soft texture and a pleasant feel with a blend of tart red berries and sweet spice enlivened by zesty acidity. A hint of fine tannins and a touch of black liquorice linger on the finish, which is lightly structured and spicy. It's a warm vintage, but the balance here is great." Vinous
"In the glass with aromas of crushed blackberries, Marasca cherries in liquor, crushed red and blue flowers, cedar and mixed spices. Bold flavors pop on the palate but are restrained by an elegant mix of tannin, acidity and savory elements that do not want to let loose just yet." Wine Enthusiast
"A historic bottle, now in its 20th year. Cabernet, with a significant proportion of Carmenère, cranberries and pepper leaves on the nose, a hint of undergrowth, a touch of orange peel, a spicy drink, with a citrusy finish." Luca Gardini
"An almost balanced blend of Cabernet and Carmenere, with an increasing proportion of Merlot and Franc. Purple vibrancy. Spread of green olives. Chilli, mint, dark chocolate and dense boysenberry confectionery. And yet the flavour, although full-bodied, is incredibly spicy. The oak is a seductive frame that blends effortlessly with the wine's density and modern, forward style. This wine is strongly reminiscent of a Bordeaux, with an added measure of finesse and richness." James Suckling

“Vulcaia Fumé" Sauvignon del Veneto IGT 2021
Vulcaia Fumé is an immensely dense and aromatic wine that demonstrates its sense of balance in a unique way. Deep, sparkling golden yellow. Impressive richness and opulence of passion fruit and other exotic fruit aromas, then blood orange, elderflower, a touch of iodised salt, flint and a noble spiciness in the finish. Spreads out colossally on the palate, with beautiful melting and excellently integrated wood. The finish shows smoky notes with some sweet vanilla and caramel cream. A Sauvignon Bianco the likes of which cannot be found again in Italy. SUPERIORE.DE
"Brilliant intense straw yellow with light reflections. In the nose fine and elegant aromas of flint, some salt stone, noble spice and toast aroma as well as hints of tropical fruit and sage. Creamy and rich on the palate, with well-integrated use of wood, lingers very long on the palate." Falstaff

“I Palchi” Soave Classico Foscarino DOC 2021
Inama's Garganega flagship is named after the wide terraces with rows of old Garganega vines trained in beads on Monte Foscarino. In 2019, thanks to the optimal orientation and careful cultivation, a selection of the best grapes was reserved for I Palchi, which will now only be released on the market in the best years in very limited quantities. It is the archetype of a Soave Classico from volcanic soils and a more than successful, independent interpretation of the Garganega grape.
Deep, rich straw yellow colour. Delicate, highly elegant nose of white flowers, stone fruit and meadow herbs, rounded off with a lovely spiciness and a hint of flint. Full-bodied on the palate, with a firm creaminess, dense, ripe fruit and complex, mineral components. A dream in velvet and silk, carried by a well-proportioned acidity and with an impressive final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, radiant straw yellow with elegant green reflections. Appealing nose of ripe lemon, cold smoke, exotic undertones, candied pineapple, sugared coconut, cold herbal tea on the final. Very nice melting on the palate, with a racy-salty undertone, polished, with beautiful play, mouth-watering in the final and with fine length." Falstaff
"Rich, round and flinty, it's full of exotic and peachy yellow fruits, allied to lovely freshness and poised sapidity. Smoky and spicy hints emerge on the long, slightly woody finish. Class." Decanter
"The Soave Classico Foscarino Grande Cuvée I Palchi 2021 is what they describe as the most representative target for this wine. Made from 100% Garganega, the wine is beautifully structured and fresh, almost crisp and very detailed with peach, honeydew melon, exotic fruits and crushed oyster shells. I Palchi consists of terraced vineyards with 50 to 60 year old vines that are trained using a pergola-rafter system. Garganega is a very vigorous grape variety. The choice of oak wood is carefully considered here." Wine Advocate
"The moment the cork is pulled, you know you're in for a ride. The wine opens with aromas of lemon blossom, lemon peel and lemon curd. You might think that this is all the wine has to offer, but you are quickly led down a different path where flavours of hazelnut, roasted apples, magnolia and the first hint of smoke emerge. As the wine reaches the palate, you are hurled into the vineyard and feel the power of the soil. Flavours of white peach, mixed citrus, wild herbs and honey lead the way to an explosion of minerality that captivates you back into the glass. This is a wine that can hold its own with any other in the world." Wine Enthusiast
"The Soave Classico I Palchi Foscarino Grande Cuvée 2021 has a platinum gold colour and a youthful, intense bouquet that blends raw almonds with stone dust, dusty dried flowers and Asian pear. It seduces with its silky texture and supple personality, washing over the palate with crisp, ripe fruit accompanied by a savoury mix of spicy herbs and minerals. The 2021 tapers dramatically long and fresh, leaving an aftertaste of mint and liquid stone." Vinous
"Wow. This is fantastic with mangoes, lemons, pears and a hint of vanilla. Mineral flavours too. Full-bodied with bright fruit and a lively finish. Lots of minerality. A selection of the best grapes from Inama in the Grand Cru Foscarino. Outstanding." James Suckling

“Oratorio di San Lorenzo” Carménère Riserva Colli Berici DOC 2018
The small location near the church of San Lorenzo is a small valley surrounded by unspoilt nature - a mystical place where monks lived for centuries. The microclimate in this area is unique. The vineyard benefits from the influence of the surrounding forest, which, in addition to supplying silty-clay nutrients, ensures important temperature fluctuations, so that it is often very hot during the day and very cool in the evening.
These unique conditions allow the fruit to ripen optimally and give off generous layers of black, plummy flavours, blackberries and blackcurrants. The wine is immediately soft and generous in texture and spans a wide range of ripe red and blue fruits without losing any of its energy. The long and colourful final with its superbly integrated acidity leaves the mouth watering, while sweet tannins, black raspberry and inner flowers linger for a long time. A truly great wine - powerful and enigmatic at the same time. The production is 5,000 bottles. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep ruby red colour with a dark core. Opens on the nose with notes of mint and eucalyptus, some cardamom, then a fine aroma of blackberries, plums and sweet tobacco. Powerful, fresh and juicy on the palate, unfolds with present, dense tannins, spans a wide arc, savoury, long finish." Falstaff
"It comes from the south-east and south-west facing plots of the 12-hectare Carmenere vineyard and is only produced in the best vintages. Notes of pepper, violets and smoke emerge from the creamy, dark fruity body. It is dense and compact, a fine wine that is not overly concentrated and offers beautiful violet-coloured fruit with floral nuances." Decanter
"The 2018 Oratorio di San Lorenzo Riserva is restrained but wonderfully floral, almost dusty, with peppery strawberry and rose accompanied by a hint of sweet spice. It is silky and pure in style with a pretty inner sweetness complicated by a core of vibrant acidity, while perfumed inner flowers and depths of dark red fruit settle on the senses. The wine is well-structured, with sweet tannins and a long finish that leaves hints of tart forest fruits and savoury spice, fading slowly. Although quite fine, its underlying power promises long and consistent ageing." Vinous
"Superb intensity with a classic nose of sandalwood and chilli chocolate, along with racy redcurrants and olives. Medium to full body with juicy and silky tannins that linger with the fruit on the long, delicious finish. Lots of polish." James Suckling
"The Inama 2018 Colli Berici Carmenere Riserva Oratorio di San Lorenzo shows a lot of freshness with menthol and herbal nuances, without the mouthfeel being too heavy. The risk with Carménère is that it can sometimes taste green, but this beautiful wine transforms these flavours into a very Mediterranean bouquet with persistent softness and texture." Wine Advocate

These unique conditions allow the fruit to ripen optimally and give off generous layers of black, plummy flavours, blackberries and blackcurrants. The wine is immediately soft and generous in texture and spans a wide range of ripe red and blue fruits without losing any of its energy. The long and colourful final with its superbly integrated acidity leaves the mouth watering, while sweet tannins, black raspberry and inner flowers linger for a long time. A truly great wine - powerful and enigmatic at the same time. The production is 5,000 bottles. SUPERIORE.DE
"Deep ruby red colour with a dark core. Opens on the nose with notes of mint and eucalyptus, some cardamom, then a fine aroma of blackberries, plums and sweet tobacco. Powerful, fresh and juicy on the palate, unfolds with present, dense tannins, spans a wide arc, savoury, long finish." Falstaff
"It comes from the south-east and south-west facing plots of the 12-hectare Carmenere vineyard and is only produced in the best vintages. Notes of pepper, violets and smoke emerge from the creamy, dark fruity body. It is dense and compact, a fine wine that is not overly concentrated and offers beautiful violet-coloured fruit with floral nuances." Decanter
"The 2018 Oratorio di San Lorenzo Riserva is restrained but wonderfully floral, almost dusty, with peppery strawberry and rose accompanied by a hint of sweet spice. It is silky and pure in style with a pretty inner sweetness complicated by a core of vibrant acidity, while perfumed inner flowers and depths of dark red fruit settle on the senses. The wine is well-structured, with sweet tannins and a long finish that leaves hints of tart forest fruits and savoury spice, fading slowly. Although quite fine, its underlying power promises long and consistent ageing." Vinous
"Superb intensity with a classic nose of sandalwood and chilli chocolate, along with racy redcurrants and olives. Medium to full body with juicy and silky tannins that linger with the fruit on the long, delicious finish. Lots of polish." James Suckling
"The Inama 2018 Colli Berici Carmenere Riserva Oratorio di San Lorenzo shows a lot of freshness with menthol and herbal nuances, without the mouthfeel being too heavy. The risk with Carménère is that it can sometimes taste green, but this beautiful wine transforms these flavours into a very Mediterranean bouquet with persistent softness and texture." Wine Advocate

Between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza, amidst the rural backdrop of forests and Venetian villas, Stefano Inama cultivates two close yet very different wine-growing areas. His vines thrive on the red clay and limestone subsoils of the Colli Berici and the extraordinary volcanic lava basalt soils of the Soave Classico area - so we're talking volcanic wines from northern Italy, among other things!
"Our aim is to escape the constraints and produce only the varietal notes of the individual grape varieties," the winemaker explains about his winery's production philosophy in conversation. What his vines from these two unique growing areas of Veneto are able to bring out in the wine glass is what essentially distinguishes his family-run winery Inama from other companies.
The Soave area to the east of Verona resembles a large, contiguous vineyard whose volcanic soils are considered unique in northern Italy. Stefano's father and founder of the winery, Giuseppe Inama, therefore decided in the early 1960s to buy up smaller parcels of land around Monte Foscarino in the sub-zone of the Soave Classico area. Since then, the highest quality Garganega grapes and small portions of Sauvignon bianco have been harvested here, enabling the production of elegant, mineral-floral single-vineyard white wines.
The cultivation of the red wine grapes, on the other hand, takes place in the Berici hills - an area in the south of the province of Vicenza whose potential has so far been recognised by only a few winemakers. "Here we have fallen in love with the natural cultivation of Carmenere, a grape variety that gives us great pleasure and will produce wines that are unique worldwide," says the Inama house. After years of research into suitable varieties, they also cultivate classic Bordeaux grape varieties here and with remarkable success.
The 50 hectares of vineyards (30 hectares for the white wines and 20 hectares for the red wines) are cultivated exclusively according to organic principles and without any herbicides or fungicides. The use of very light tractors has also helped the Inamas to achieve particularly loose, uncompacted soils in which the roots of the vines can penetrate deep into the soil. Sustainability is therefore very important on this farm.
With the support of their three sons, Matteo, Alessio and Luca, the Inamas push ahead with a remarkable precision viticulture, for which the entire vineyard area has been divided into micro-parcels and their soil composition thoroughly analysed - the qualitative consistency and the particularly expressive flavour profiles of the wines do not come by chance. This leads to very area-specific wines that show off the terroir and are not dictated by trends. They are exactly what we prefer to drink. SUPERIORE.DE
