Inama's vision of wine
In recent years, the boom in oenology and viticulture worldwide has been linked to very standardised wine varieties, fashions and styles.
As a result, this context has created a quantity of wines that are often well made but easily reproduced and homologated more to the varietal tastes of the grapes than to the territory from which they come. The result has been confusion, at all levels, in the ability to recognise the intrinsic goodness of a great wine. This is almost always linked not only to the variety from which it comes, but above all to a combination of factors that cannot be reproduced outside a given environment. In a word, to its 'uniqueness'.
Having produced Soave in the Classic area for over half a century has gradually created the perception of what we now consider to be the decisive factors in producing unique wines.
These are the factors:
- A particular area that is historically (but also recently) recognisable as highly suited for the production of certain grape varieties that, if the characteristic of that area, we can define as "adapted";
- These varieties must be able to express a particular and unique phenotype of that area;
- The average age of the vines;
- The patience, passion and skill of the operator in understanding and constantly encouraging improvement to achieve results, and above all in the long term, to be consolidated over time.
Day after day, year after year, Inama strives to understand and interpret these factors.
