Description

Soave wine is named after the homonymous town founded by the Lombards, also known as Suaves.

It is among the  first Italian wines for which production area has been limited  by a decree, in 1931, and is also the first DOC recognized in  Veneto, when DOC “Soave Superiore” was acknowledged. 

The indication “Classico” is a privilege of Soave produced  in the “classical”, original, most ancient area, i.e. the hills of  Soave and Monteforte.

Made from Garganega grapes grown in the hills of Soave and Monteforte. 

This light wine is cool-fermented and unoaked to preserve the grape's delicate floral aromas. The refreshing palate shows good weight of fruit flavours with blossom and citrus on the finish.

Veneto

Veneto is a north-west region of the Italy that branches from the Dolomite Alps in the north down to the beautifully blue waters of the Adriatic Sea in the south. Along the southern coast is its capital Venice. The city throughout time has been regarded extremely highly in literature, art, film and theatre. Venice’s beautifully unique water ways connected by over four hundred bridges creates a perfect setting for anyone wanting to tell an atmospheric story. Its Baroque and Gothic styled architecture along with the world-famous glass workers add to the aesthetic of the city.

Just north of Venice lies Treviso, a small city that is home to the most famous cuisine to come from Veneto, the creamy and soft Tiramisu. This layered coffee-soaked biscuit and mascarpone dessert is among the most proud and renowned food to come from Italy. Prosecco which is the constant rival to Champagne also originated in Treviso. The bubbling wine is like champagne however the difference being Prosecco is fermented in steel barrels not wood. Enjoy it with a splash of Aperol or Campari for the summery ‘Spritz’.
