Frequently Asked Questions
- What makes Gini's Soave unique?
- Gini's Soave draws on ancient, partly pre-phylloxera vines (some over 100 years old) in the Contrada Salvarenza and Froscà vineyards, grown on volcanic and calcareous hillside soils in Monteforte d'Alpone, which give the wines exceptional minerality and aging potential.
- Is Gini an organic producer?
- Yes. The estate's roughly 60 hectares are farmed organically, following practices close to biodynamic viticulture, with no synthetic insecticides and vinification carried out without added sulfites since 1985.
- Are Gini wines suitable for aging?
- Yes. Gini's Soave Classico wines, especially the single-vineyard Contrada Salvarenza Vecchie Vigne, are known for remarkable longevity and can age gracefully for a decade or more.
- Who runs Gini today?
- The estate is run by brothers Sandro and Claudio Gini, the latest of 15 generations of the family that has cultivated vineyards in Monteforte d'Alpone since the 16th century.
