ILatium Morini, Soave, DOC, Veneto, Italy, 2025

Producer Profile

The seven brothers and cousins involved in ILatium Morini changed their approach in 2004, when they decided to keep the best grapes from their vineyards to make wine themselves.

Since then, a torrent of accolades, including glowing reviews from Jancis Robinson, would suggest that they made the right decision. Now at the forefront of the ‘new wave’ of Soave, Valpolicella and Amarone production, their wines combine beautiful fruit concentration with fresh, bright acidity.

Viticulture

Today the winery cultivates approximately 50 hectares with plots spread across Valpolicella and Soave. Pergolagrown vines averaging 35 years, planted at 4500 plants per hectare. The vineyards of Mezzane and Illasi are situated at 200 metres above sea level on chalky/clay medium-texture soils of alluvial origin.

Winemaking

The grapes are destemmed and pressed immediately, followed by static cleaning with the aid of enzymes at low temperatures. Controlled fermentation takes place at 15°C - 16°C for 15 days. Refinement takes place in stainless steel vats.

Tasting Note

Light crisp and refreshing white, straw green in colour. White flowers, apple and exotic fruits on the nose which follow in the mouth to a delicate, citrusy, dry with almondy and mineral finish.

Food matching

Pair with sage roasted chicken, light pasta dishes and crisp salads.
